Question 1051076: PLEASE HELP!!
examine the leading term and determine the far-left and far-right behavior of the graph of
the polynomial function.
P(x)=3x^4-2x^2-7x+1 Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When x becomes very large, x^4 term drives the equation. The other terms become insignificant.
When x is very large positive, x^4 is positive. When x^4 is very large negative, (-x)^4 is also positive. The function will be W shaped or U shaped, here U shaped.
