Function End Behaviour (Polynomials) - Power and Coefficient to Behaviour

This math topic focuses on understanding the end behavior of polynomial functions based on their leading coefficient and highest power. Questions prompt learners to deduce how polynomials will behave as \( x \) approaches infinity or negative infinity. Each problem presents a polynomial characterized by its highest power and leading coefficient, and students choose which behavior description fits the polynomial's characteristics. This exercise is foundational for grasping how polynomial functions behave at extreme values of \( x \).
