GOOD JOB
END BEHAVIOR is fancy for what happens to function for very big or small numbers
for the ODD functions they in general slant up for positive leading coefficients
or slant down for negative leading coefficients.
This is a positive therefore it will slant up
the end on the left side will be y approaches (-infinity) as x approaches (- infinity)
the end on the right side wiil be y approaches (+ infinity) as x approaches ( + infinity)
as it is 5th degree it should have 4 turns as it goes from lower left to upper right on graph
