A function is odd if the degree which is greatest is odd and even if the degree which is greatest is even Example: even Example: odd
End Behavior • Behavior of the graph as x approaches positive infinity (+∞) or negative infinity (-∞) • The expression x→+∞ : as x approaches positive infinity • The expression x→-∞ : as x approaches negative infinity
