Determine the End Behavior

Question

Determine the end behavior of the following polynomial function:

f(x)=−5/8 x^14(x−10)^2(x−9)

1) The leading term of the polynomial is:

2) The degree of f(x) is:

3) The leading coefficient is:

Answer 1

end behavior is -infinity as x approaches infinity

and +infinity as x approaches - infinity

1) -(5/8)x^17

2) degree = 14+2+1= 17

3) -5/8

Answer 2

Leading coefficient is -5/8.

Degree is 17.
