College Algebra, Chapter 4, 4.2, Section 4.2, Problem 2

There are one of the following behaviours for every polynomials:
$(i) \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad \infty\quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \infty \quad \text{and} \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad \infty \quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty$

$(ii) \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad \infty\quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \infty \quad \text{and} \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty \quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty$

$(iii) \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty\quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \infty \quad \text{and} \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad \infty \quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty$

$(iv) \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty\quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \infty \quad \text{and} \quad y \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty \quad \text{as} \quad x \quad \rightarrow \quad -\infty$

a.) $y = x^3 - 8x^2 + 2x - 15$, end behaviour $\underline{\phantom{x}(ii)\phantom{x}}$
b.) $y = -2x^4 + 12x + 100$, end behaviour $\underline{\phantom{x}(iv)\phantom{x}}$
