Question

In which direction does the right side of this graph point?f(x)= -x^4 - x^3 +4x - 2

Answer 1

Given the the following function:

`f\mleft(x\mright)=-x^4-x^3+4x-2`

You need to rewrite it:

`y=-x^4-x^3+4x-2`

You can give values to the variable "x" in order to find the corresponding values of "y" and then graph the function. The graph is:

You can also identify that the Leading coefficient of the function is:

`a=-1`

Since the Leading coefficient is negative, the function is pointing down, as you can see in the graph attached.

Therefore, based on the above, you can conclude the following:
