end behavior of a graph is determined by the value of x when x approaches
\n" ); document.write( "positive infinity and when x approaches negative infinity.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it turns out that the leading coefficient and whether the exponent is odd or even determines the end behavior.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as the value of x in either direction is controlled by the term that has the highest value exponent, that term controls the end behavior.\r
