Question 815041
When a polynomial is in standard form (from highest exponent to lowest), like yours, the coefficient and the exponent of the first term determines the end behavior:<ul><li>Even exponent: Both ends go in the same direction. (Both up or both down).</li><li>Odd exponent: The two ends go in opposite directions, one up and one down.</li><li>Positive coefficient: The right end goes up.</li><li>Negative coefficient: The right end goes down.</li></ul>Your polynomial's first term has an even exponent so both ends go in the same direction. Your polynomial's first term has a positive coefficient so the right end goes up (and, since both ends go in the same direction, the left end goes up, too).
