End Behavior:
When given a problem you will need to figure out if its odd, even, leading coefficient, and the degree.
odd= arrows go in the opposite direction.
even= arrows go in the same direction.
Leading coefficient= number attached to the highest exponent.
Degree= the highest exponent.
Zeros and Turning Points:
Zeros= highest exponent.
Turning Points= highest exponent minus one.
Example:
x^3 +5x^2+4x=0
There are 3 zeros and 2 turning points.
