Graphs of Polynomial Functions

Question 15 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

Reread your explanation. Which important information did you include?

Answer
A
The degree is odd, so the graph has ends that go in opposite directions. A negative coefficient means the graph rises on the left and falls on the right.
B
Adding –x8 changes the degree to even, so the ends go in the same direction.
C
Adding 5x7 changes the leading coefficient to positive, so the graph falls on the left and rises on the right.
