Concept explainers
To describe: the left hand and right hand behavior of the given polynomial and then to
verify the results using graphing utility.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given polynomial is
Calculation:
Consider the polynomial
The leading coefficient is
It is negative. So on the right side, the graph will fall towards minus infinite.
The degree of the polynomial is
Degree is odd value, so the behavior of left side is opposite to that of right side behavior.
So, on the left side the graph will rise towards plus infinite.
Graph:
The graph of
By observing the graph, the results we obtain are correct.
Hence,
On right side the graph will fall towards minus infinite.
and left side the graph will rise towards plus infinite.
