Polynomial Characteristics
The table below has a list of polynomial functions. Determine the following:
a) Degree of the function
b) Whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative
c) Rises or falls to the left
d) Rises or falls to the right
| Function | Degree | Leading Coefficient | Left Side Behavior | Right Side Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(f(x)=x^2\) | ||||
| \(f(x)=-x^2+7\) | ||||
| \(f(x)=2x^3-4\) | ||||
| \(f(x)=-4x^5\) | ||||
| \(f(x)=2x^4-9\) | ||||
| \(f(x)=-x^6\) |
