Question 1012280: What is the end behavior of a polynomial graph with a positive leading coefficiant and a odd degree?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
it's leading coefficient is positive and the leading term has an odd degree.

end behavior on the left will be negative.
end behavior on the right will be positive.

here's a link that explains it very well.

the end behavior is determined by the highest degree term and by the sign of the leading coefficient.
