  • f(x) = -x
  • f(x) = x3
  • A polynomial of degree 6 with positive leading coefficent.
  • A polynomial of degree 181 with positive leading coefficient.
  • A polynomial of odd degree with negative leading coefficient.
  • A binomial with negative leading coefficient.
  • The function approaches +infinity. (4)
  • The function approaches -infinity. (2)
  • Not enough information. (1)
