We look at the polynomials degree and leading coefficient to determine its end behavior.
It is helpful when you are graphing a polynomial function to know about the end behavior of the function.
End behavior of a graph describes the values of the function as x approaches positive infinity and negative infinity
positive infinity x goes to the right
negative infinity x goes to the left

END BEHAVIOR – be the polynomial
Odd--then the left side and the right side are different
Even--then the left side and the right are the same
The Highest DEGREE is either even or odd
Negative--the right side of the graph will go down
The Leading COEFFICIENT is either positive or negative
Positive--the right side of the graph will go up
