End Behavior.
End Behavior of Functions

The end behavior of a graph


describes the far left and the far
right portions of the graph.

Using the leading coefficient


and the degree of the
polynomial, we can determine
the end behaviors of the graph.
This is often called the Leading
Coefficient Test.
End behavior of a graph describes the values of the function
as x approaches positive infinity and negative infinity

positive infinity  x   goes to the right


negative infinity  x     goes to the left

We look at the polynomials degree and leading


coefficient to determine its end behavior.
It is helpful when you are graphing a polynomial function to know about
the end behavior of the function.
END BEHAVIOR – be the polynomial
The Leading COEFFICIENT is either positive or negative

Positive--the right side of the graph will go up

Negative--the right side of the graph will go down

The Highest DEGREE is either even or odd

Even--then the left side and the right are the same

Odd--then the left side and the right side are different
End Behavior of Functions

First determine whether the degree


of the polynomial is even or odd.
f ( x ) 2 x 2  3 x  5 degree = 2 so it is even

Next determine whether the


leading coefficient is positive or
negative. 2
f ( x ) 2 x  3 x  5 Leading coefficient =
2 so it is positive

Determine the end behavior:
1. 4x4 – 2x3 + 6x – 3 = 0

Leading Coefficient → POSITIVE → right side up


LC: 4
Degree → EVEN → arms together
degree: 5
Determine the end behavior:
2. 3x7 + 8x2 + 4x – 13 = 0

Leading Coefficient → POSITIVE → right side up


LC: 3

Degree → ODD → arms opposite


degree: 7
Determine the end behavior:
3. -2x5 + x4 - 6x2 – 8x = 0

Leading Coefficient → NEGATIVE → right arm down


LC: -2
Degree → ODD → arms apart
degree: 5
Determine the end behavior:
4. -2x2 – 6x + 6 = 0
