If the leading coefficient of an even degree polynomial function is positive, then the end behavior of the function will be as follows:
As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity.
As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) also approaches positive infinity.
In notation, we can write this as:
- as x → -∞, f(x) → +∞
- as x → +∞, f(x) → +∞
If the leading coefficient of an even degree polynomial function is positive, then what is the end behavior? Be sure to express your answer using proper notation
