a. Use the leading coefficient test to determine
the graph's end behavior. Which
statement describes the behavior at the ends of f(x)
 ?
 The graph
rises to the left and falls to the right .
 The graph
falls to the left and rises to the right
 The graph
falls to the left and to the right .
 The graph
rises to the left and to the right .
b. What are the x-intercepts?
x= (Use
a comma to separate answers as needed.)
At which x-intercept(s) does the graph cross the x-axis?
x=
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type N if there is no
solution.)
At which x-intercept(s) does the graph touch the x-axis and turn around?
x=
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type N if there is no
solution.)
c. Find the y-intercept by setting x equal to 0 and computing f(0).
The y-intercept is y=
.
d. Determine whether the graph has y-axis symmetry, origin symmetry, or
neither.
Choose the correct answer below.
origin
symmetry
y-axis symmetry
None of the above
e. Determine the graph of the function. Choose the correct graph below.
Use the fact
that the maximum number of turning points of the graph is n -1, with n
as the leading
term to check the correct choice.
