The graph below shows: $$f(x) = x(x+3)(x-4)$$ Use the checkbox to graph the power function $y = x^3\text{.}$ Now use the slider to zoom out, and observe the shape of the graph. After zooming out, how do the graphs of $y = x(x+3)(x-4)$ and $y = x^3$ compare to each other? Answer: The graphs are ? very different very similar Complete the following statment: The ? end behavior of the function $x(x+3)(x-4)$ is like ? x^2 x^3 Now, use algebra to expand the formula $x(x+3)(x-4)\text{.}$ What is the leading term (the one with the highest power on $x$)? Answer:
