Lesson 8: End Behavior (Part 1)Let’s investigate the shape of polynomials.8.1: Notice and Wonder: A Different ViewWhat do you notice? What do you wonder?8.2: Polynomial End Behavior1. For your assigned polynomial, complete the column for the different values of.Discuss with your group what you notice.-1000-100-10-11101001000•Unit 2 Lesson 8117
2. Sketch what you think theend behaviorof your polynomial looks like, then checkyour work using graphing technology.Are you ready for more?Mai is studying the function. She makes a table ofvalues forwithand thinks that this function has large positiveoutput values in both directions on the-axis. Do you agree with Mai? Explain yourreasoning.118
8.3: Two Polynomial EquationsConsider the polynomial.1. Identify the degree of the polynomial.2. Which of the 6 terms,,,,,, or, is greatest when:a.b.c.d.3. Describe the end behavior of the polynomial.Lesson 8 SummaryWe know that if the expression for a polynomial functionwritten in factored form hasthe factor, thenis a zero of(that is,) and the pointis on thegraph of the function. But what about other values of? In particular, as we considervalues ofthat get larger and larger in either the negative or positive direction, whathappens to the values of?The answer to this question depends on the degree of the polynomial, because anynegative real number raised to an even power results in a positive number. For example, ifwe graph,andand zoom out, we see the following:Unit 2 Lesson 8119
For bothand, large positive values ofor large negative values ofeachresult in large positive values of. But for, large positive values ofresult in largepositive values of, while large negative values ofresult in large negative values of.Consider the polynomial. The leading term,, almostseems smaller than the other 3 terms. For certain values of, this is even true. But, forvalues offar away from zero, the leading term will always have the greatest value. Canyou see why?-50062,500,000,0003,750,000,000-5,000,0001,00066,245,001,000-100100,000,00030,000,000-200,0001,000129,801,000-1010,00030,000-2,0001,00039,00000001,00010001010,000-30,000-2,0001,000-21,000100100,000,000-30,000,000-200,0001,00069,801,00050062,500,000,000-3,750,000,000-5,000,0001,00058,745,001,000The value of the leading termdetermines theend behaviorof the function, that is, howthe outputs of the function change as we look at input values farther and farther from 0.

Lesson 9 SummaryWhat happens when we multiply a number by a negative number? If the original numberwas positive, the product is negative. But if the original number was negative, the productis positive. The sign of the new number is the opposite of the original number.Now let’s consider the polynomial functionsand. For any non-zeroreal number, the output ofis positive while the output ofis negative. The signs of allthe output values forare the opposite of those of. The difference between these twofunctions is also easy to see when we look at their graphs.This is the effect of a negative leading coefficient: the end behavior of the polynomial is theopposite of what it would be if the leading coefficient were positive. For polynomials ofodd degree, we can see that a negative leading coefficient has the same effect on the endbehavior.126
Here are the graphs of, which has a leading term of, and, which has a leading term of. They have the same zeros,but opposite end behavior, because they have opposite signs on their leading coefficients.Unit 2 Lesson 9127
