End Behavior of Polynomial Functions: Identifying Form, Degree, and End Behavior, Study notes of Elementary Mathematics

In this document, students are introduced to the concept of end behavior of polynomial functions. They are asked to identify the form and degree of each polynomial function given, and then determine the end behavior as x approaches positive and negative infinity. several examples and practice problems for students to work on.

What you will learn

  • What is the end behavior of each polynomial function as x approaches positive and negative infinity?
  • What is the form and degree of each polynomial function given in the document?
  • How do you determine the end behavior of a polynomial function?
