ax^6 has a range that tends towards positive infinity.
Any function that has a +2, 4,6,8 as the power, and has a leading numerical coefficient that is POSITIVE has a range that tends towards positive infinity...
Does that help ??
Which of the following polynomials could have the same end behavior as f(x)=ax^6+bx^5+c?
There may be more than one correct answer. Select all correct answers.
a. nx^5+bx^4+c
b. kx+b
c. dx^4−bx^3−cx^2+dx+e
d. −jx^8+bx^7+cx^4
e. −mx^2
can someone help me with this it is confusing and there is more than one answer so yea i need help

it sort of makes sense could you explain it a little further
If the power is EVEN the ends of the graph go upwards towards the sky! Both arms of the function go upwards.
that is 2x^2, 4^6, 1x^8 etc all have leading coefficients that are positive so the graphs go upwards.
if the function was y = - x^2 then the graph would go downwards (in quadrants 3 and 4).
