xto-oo,f(x)to-oox,f(x)
xto+oo,f(x)to+oox+,f(x)+

Explanation:

"to obtain the general shape of a polynomial using end"to obtain the general shape of a polynomial using end
"behaviour consider the degree and leading coefficient"behaviour consider the degree and leading coefficient
"of the polynomial in standard form"of the polynomial in standard form

"here degree is odd and leading coefficient is positive"here degree is odd and leading coefficient is positive

• " odd degree, positive leading coefficient" odd degree, positive leading coefficient

xto-oo,f(x)to-oox,f(x)

xto+oo,f(x)to+oox+,f(x)+
