You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When $\"x\"$ is very large in the negative range, the first term is negative, the second term is positive, so the value of $\"P%28x%29\"$ will be negative.
\n" ); document.write( "When $\"x\"$ is very large in the positive range, the first term is positive, the second term is also positive, so the value of $\"P%28x%29\"$ will be negative.
\n" ); document.write( "So the graph will come from the bottom, left, cross through the x axis at $\"-2\"$ , $\"0\"$ ,and $\"2\"$ and then will move up to the top, right.
