Step 1 :Step 1: Identify the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial. The degree is 5 (the highest exponent of x) and the leading coefficient is -2.
Step 2 :Step 2: Because the degree is odd and the leading coefficient is negative, the end behavior of the function is: as \(x \to -\infty, f(x) \to +\infty\) and as \(x \to +\infty, f(x) \to -\infty\). This is according to the Leading Coefficient Test.
