Question 1048811: Please help me solve this equation
Find the power function that the graph of f resembles for large values of |x|.
f(x) = -x^2(x + 4)^3(x^2 - 1)

If you were to expand it out, you would get where ... represents functions that grow asymptotically slower than -x^7 (we can also write it as using big O notation).

Therefore for large values of |x|, f(x) is approximately -x^7.
