Algebra-2

To analyze the end behavior of the polynomial function

we will look at the leading term, its degree, and the leading coefficient.

Step 1: Identify the Leading Term

The leading term is .

Step 2: Determine the Degree and Coefficient

The degree of the polynomial is 6 (an even number).

The leading coefficient is -1 (which is negative).

Step 3: End Behavior

For even-degree polynomials with a negative leading coefficient:

As ( ) (as ( x ) increases), (
