Algebra-2

To determine which equation most likely matches the graph based on the given end behavior, we need to analyze the degree and leading coefficients of each polynomial.

 

From the graph, it can be seen that as and as . The ends go in the same direction, which indicates an even-degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient.

 

Analyzing Each Equation

A.

Degree: Even (6)  

Leading Coefficient: Positive (1)  

Conclusion: Does not match (Even degree, positive leading coefficient).

 

B.
