How to Determine the End Behaviour of a Polynomial Function
  1. ODD NUMBER: This means the function is an Odd-Degree Polynomial (ex. 2x + 3x + 4x +5)
    1. Is the leading coefficient (leading term) a positive or negative number?
      1. Positive [a > 0]
        1. End Behaviour: as x→ -∞, y→ -∞ as x→ ∞, y→ ∞
          1. Example:
            1. Domain= {x Range= {y
              1. Max/Min: Neither positive or negative have a maximum or minimum value
                1. Turning Points: Even number (The largest number of turning points is n-1, if n= degree)
            2. The function starts in the 3rd quadrant and ends in the 1st quadrant
          2. Negative [a < 0]
            1. End Behaviour: as x→ -∞, y→ ∞ as x→ ∞, y→ -∞
              1. Example:
                1. Domain= {x Range= {y
                2. The function starts in the 2nd quadrant and ends in the 4th quadrant
          3. EVEN NUMBER: This means the function is an Even-Degree Polynomial (ex. 3x + 4x +5)
            1. Is the leading coefficient (leading term) a positive or negative number?
              1. Positive [a > 0]
                1. End Behaviour: as x→ -∞, y→ ∞ as x→ ∞, y→ ∞
                  1. Example:
                    1. Domain= {x Range= {y|y > a}
                      1. Max/Min: Minimum value→a
                    2. The function starts in the 2nd quadrant and ends in the 1st quadrant
                  2. Negative [a < 0]
                    1. End Behaviour: as x→ -∞, y→ -∞ as x→ ∞, y→ -∞
                      1. Example:
                        1. Domain= {x Range= {y|y < a}
                          1. Max/Min: Maximum value→a

                        2. The function starts in the 3rd quadrant and ends in the 4th quadrant
                  3. Is the largest degree of the Polynomial function an Odd or Even number?
