Question

If P(x) is a polynomial with lead term -x7, then
a) P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to infinity
b) P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to infinity
c) P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to infinity
d) P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to infinity

Answer 1

P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to infinity , Option B is the correct answer.

What is a Polynomial ?

A polynomial is an expression which consists of variables , Coefficient , indeterminate and mathematical operations.

The polynomial given has  lead term -x⁷

So when x --> ∞  , -x⁷---> - ∞

and when x ---> - ∞  , -x⁷ ---->  ∞

Similarly for the function P(x)

So when x --> ∞  , P(x)---> - ∞

and when x ---> - ∞  ,  P(x) ---->  ∞

P(x) goes to infinity as x goes to negative infinity, and P(x) goes to negative infinity as x goes to infinity

Therefore Option B is the correct answer.
