6. x The graph of p on the interval [-10000, 10000]. The graph of p on the interval ... 5 is Let p be the polynomial defined by p(x) = x 4 - 9999x3 - 999x2 - 99x - 9. ... In other words, if x is very large, is p(x) > 0 or is p(x) < 0? solution If x is positive, ... Thus if x > 107, then the expression in parentheses above is approximately 1.
