End behavior : Down ( As x -> -oo , y-> -oo ),
Up ( As
x -> oo , y-> oo),

Explanation:

x^3-4 x^2+7. The end behavior of a graph describes far left

and far right portions. Using degree of polynomial and leading

coefficient we can determine the end behaviors. Here degree of

polynomial is 3 (odd) and leading coefficient is +.

For odd degree and positive leading coefficient the graph goes

down as we go left in 3 rd quadrant and goes up as we go

right in 1 st quadrant.

End behavior : Down ( As x -> -oo , y-> -oo),

Up ( As x -> oo , y-> oo).
