Question

Describe the end behavior of the polynomial equation y=x^ 2 -4.

Both tails will point downward.

The left will point downward, and the right will point upward.

Both tails will point upward.

The left tail will point upward, and the right will point downward.

Answer 1

Answer: The end behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of f ( x) as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity. The degree and the leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine the end behavior of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Both will point upwards

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of the x value is positive this means that it will point upwards as x is the quadratic. -4 only shifts the graph down 4. Since it is a quadratic the tails will point in the same direction so since it has a positive coefficient it will point up.
