In Exercises \(21-26,\) use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the end behavior of the graph of the polynomial function. $$f(x)=11 x^{4}-6 x^{2}+x+3$$
In Exercises \(35-50\) a. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graphs end behavior. b. Find \(x\) -intercepts by setting \(f(x)=0\) and solving the resulting polynomial equation. State whether the graph crosses the \(x\)-axis, or touches the \(x\)-axis and turns around, at each intercept. c. Find the \(y\) -intercept by setting \(x\) equal to 0 and computing \(f(0)\) d. Determine whether the graph has \(y\) -axis symmetry, origin symmetry, or neither. e. If necessary, find a few additional points and graph the function. Use the fact that the maximum number of turning points of the graph is \(n-1\) to check whether it is drawn correctly. $$f(x)=-2 x^{4}+2 x^{3}$$
In Exercises \(27-34,\) find the zeros for each polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the \(x\) -axis, or touches the \(x\) -axis and turns around, at each zero. $$f(x)=2(x-5)(x+4)^{2}$$
The polynomial function $$ f(x)=-0.87 x^{3}+0.35 x^{2}+81.62 x+7684.94 $$ models the number of thefts, \(f(x),\) in thousands, in the United States \(x\) years after \(1987 .\) Will this function be useful in modeling the number of thefts over an extended period of time? Explain your answer.
In Exercises \(55-56,\) use a graphing utility to determine upper and lower bounds for the zeros of \(f .\) Does synthetic division verify your observations? $$ f(x)=2 x^{4}-7 x^{3}-5 x^{2}+28 x-12 $$
