The leading term is -3x^5.
\n" ); document.write( "If x increases to positive infinity, the function will be negative.
\n" ); document.write( "If x decreases to negative infinity, the function will be positive.
\n" ); document.write( "Because x^5 is so much greater than any lower power at large numbers, the first term drives the end behavior.
