Question
3
f(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x² + x + 7
orange
as x → -∞, f(x) → ∞
as x → ∞, f(x) → ∞
red
as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞
as x → ∞, f(x) → ∞
yellow
as x → -∞, f(x) → ∞
as x → ∞, f(x) → -∞
white
as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞
as x → ∞, f(x) → -∞
Step1: Identify degree and leading coefficient
The function $f(x)=3x^4+2x^2+x+7$ has degree $4$ (even) and leading coefficient $3>0$.
Step2: Analyze end behavior
For even degree with positive leading coefficient:
As $x \to -\infty$, $x^4 \to \infty$, so $f(x)=3x^4+\dots \to \infty$.
As $x \to \infty$, $x^4 \to \infty$, so $f(x)=3x^4+\dots \to \infty$.
