Question 1018824: The addition of either -x8 or 5x7 will change the end behavior of y = -2x7 + 5x6 - 24.
Explain how each of the added terms above would change the graph

the current end behavior is -2x^7. When x is large +, the term is negative. When x is large -, the term is positive.
Add -x^8. When x is large +, the term is negative, and large negative it is negative.
Add 5x^7. Now large x positive will be positive and large x negative will be negative. The graphs of each of those are below.
