Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall end - behavior rules for polynomials
The end - behavior of a polynomial (y = a_nx^n+a_{n - 1}x^{n - 1}+\cdots+a_0) is determined by the leading term (a_nx^n), where (n) is the degree of the polynomial and (a_n) is the leading coefficient. If (n) is even and (a_n>0), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\pm\infty}f(x)=\infty). If (n) is even and (a_n < 0), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\pm\infty}f(x)=-\infty). If (n) is odd and (a_n>0), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)=\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}f(x)=-\infty). If (n) is odd and (a_n < 0), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)=-\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}f(x)=\infty).
Step2: Analyze function A: (g(x)=4x^7 - 3x^4+x)
The leading term is (4x^7) (degree (n = 7), odd; leading coefficient (a_n=4>0)). As (x\rightarrow-\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}g(x)=-\infty) since for an odd - degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient, the function goes to negative infinity as (x) decreases without bound. As (x\rightarrow\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}g(x)=\infty).
Step3: Analyze function B: (p(x)=7x^4 + 3x^3-3x - 4)
The leading term is (7x^4) (degree (n = 4), even; leading coefficient (a_n = 7>0)). So (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}p(x)=\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}p(x)=\infty).
Step4: Analyze function C: (f(x)=-7x^9 - 8x^3+6)
The leading term is (-7x^9) (degree (n = 9), odd; leading coefficient (a_n=-7<0)). As (x\rightarrow-\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}f(x)=\infty) and as (x\rightarrow\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)=-\infty).
Step5: Analyze function D: (g(x)=-3x^6 + 5x^3-2x + 6)
The leading term is (-3x^6) (degree (n = 6), even; leading coefficient (a_n=-3<0)). So (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}g(x)=-\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}g(x)=-\infty).
Step6: Analyze function E: (f(x)=x^3 + 4x^2-3)
The leading term is (x^3) (degree (n = 3), odd; leading coefficient (a_n = 1>0)). As (x\rightarrow-\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}f(x)=-\infty) and as (x\rightarrow\infty), (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)=\infty).
Step7: Analyze function F: (p(x)=-8x^2 - 3x + 10)
The leading term is (-8x^2) (degree (n = 2), even; leading coefficient (a_n=-8<0)). So (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}p(x)=-\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}p(x)=-\infty).
Step8: Match graphs and equations in question 4
For (y=x^3+bx^2+cx + d) (odd - degree, positive leading coefficient), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}y=-\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}y=\infty), which matches I. For (y =-\frac{1}{20}x^4+bx^2 + d) (even - degree, negative leading coefficient), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}y=-\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}y=-\infty), which matches IV. For (y=\frac{1}{20}x^4+bx^2 + d) (even - degree, positive leading coefficient), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}y=\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}y=\infty), which matches II. For (y =-\frac{1}{4}x^3+bx^2 + d) (odd - degree, negative leading coefficient), (\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}y=\infty) and (\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}y=-\infty), which matches III.
