The y-intercept is (0, 1). There is no x-intercept. Degree is 4. End behavior: as x → −∞, f(x) → ∞, as x → ∞, f(x) → ∞.
Consider a polynomial function of degree 3 and having following x-intercepts and y-intercepts respectively,
(0, 1) → y-intercept
There are no x-intercepts
End behavior of the polynomial function is,
x → ∞, f(x) → ∞
x → -∞, f(x) → ∞
The end behavior shows that the graph is upwards. This means take the leading coefficient 1.
Consider the following general form of a polynomial function of degree 4.
f(x) = x4 + 1
Hence, the polynomial function is f(x) = x4 + 1.
Hence, the polynomial function is f(x) = x4 + 1.
