<PRE><B>Question 172605</B>
determine the end behavior and maximum number of turning points for the function 
f(x)=-6x^5-3x^3+10x^2-3x+2 
-----------
The term -6x^5 determines the end behavior.
As x goes to +inf, -6x^5 gets more negative; it goes down.
As x goes to -inf, -6x^5 gets more positive; it goes up
----------
