Learn what the end behavior of a polynomial is, and how we can find it from the polynomial's equation. In this lesson, you will learn what the "end behavior" of a polynomial is and how to …

Sal explains what "end behavior" is and what affects the end behavior of polynomial functions. Created by Sal Khan.

Analyze polynomial functions to determine how they behave as the input variable increases to positive infinity or decreases to negative infinity.

Definitely! All functions will have end behaviors, whether in graphed or standard form.

Finding the end behavior To find the end behavior of a function, we can examine the leading term when the function is written in standard form. Let's write the equation in standard form.

What is "end behavior" when it comes to polynomials? The end behavior of a polynomial tells you what the polynomial "looks like" as it approaches positive and negative infinity.

Solve challenging problems that tackle the relationship between the features of a polynomial and its graph.

In this unit, we will use everything that we know about polynomials in order to analyze their graphical behavior. Specifically, we will find polynomials' zeros (i.e., x-intercepts) and analyze …

Sal analyzes the end behavior of several rational functions, that together cover all cases types of end behavior.

Learn what the end behavior of a polynomial is, and how we can find it from the polynomial's equation. In this lesson, you will learn what the "end behavior" of a polynomial is and how to …
