Consider the leading term of each polynomial function. What is the end behavior of the
graph?
5x – 2x? - 8x + 1
A. The leading term is 5x8. Since n is even and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up.
B. The leading term is 5x8. Since n is even and a is positive. the end behavior is up and down.
C. The leading term is 57. Since n is even and a is positive, the end behavior is down and down.
D. The leading term is 5x8 Since n is even and a is positive, the end behavior is up and up.
