QuestionDescribe the end behavior of a $14^{\text {th }}$ degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient.
Describe the end behavior of a $9^{\text {th }}$ degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient.

Studdy Solution
As $x \to -\infty$, the polynomial $P(x) \to \infty$.
The end behavior of the 14th degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient is: - As $x \to \infty$, $P(x) \to \infty$. - As $x \to -\infty$, $P(x) \to \infty$.
The end behavior of the 9th degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient is: - As $x \to \infty$, $P(x) \to -\infty$. - As $x \to -\infty$, $P(x) \to \infty$.
