<PRE><B>Question 949387</B>
Describe the end-behavior of the given function;(Hint: rearrange the terms)
 f(x)= -3x + 5x^3 - 12 - 2x^9
 ------
Note:: The highest power term will determine the end-behaviour.
----
As x approaches -oo, -2x^9 approaches +oo
As x approaches +oo, -2x^9 approaches -oo
