End behavior calculator
Find what happens to f(x) as x approaches positive and negative infinity. Based on degree and leading coefficient.
f(x) =
End behavior rules
Determined by the degree (highest power) and the leading coefficient (its sign).
Even degree, positive lead: Both ends up ↑↑ (like x²).
Even degree, negative lead: Both ends down ↓↓ (like −x²).
Odd degree, positive lead: Left down, right up ↓↑ (like x³).
Odd degree, negative lead: Left up, right down ↑↓ (like −x³).
