How do you find the degree and end behavior of: f(x)= -5x^3+7x^2+10x-12
----
The degree and end behavior both depend on the highest powered term.
---
Degree: 3 because x^3 is the highest power of the variable.
----
End behavior:
As x goes to -oo, -5x^3 goes to +oo
As x goes to +oo, -5x^3 goes to -oo
