Identify the correct leading coefficient, degree, and end behavior of P(x) = −4x^6 + 2x^5 − 8x − 15. A. leading coefficient: 6
degree: −4
end behavior:
as x → −∞, P(x) → −∞
as x → +∞, P(x) → −∞
B. leading coefficient: 6
degree: −4
end behavior:
as x → −∞, P(x) → +∞
as x → +∞, P(x) → +∞
C. leading coefficient: −4
degree: 6
end behavior:
as x → −∞, P(x) → +∞
as x → + ∞, P(x) → +∞
D. leading coefficient: −4
degree: 6
end behavior:
as x → −∞, P(x) → −∞,
as x → +∞, P(x) → −∞
