For the function , f(x)=-2x^4 do the following:
a. Complete a table of values containing at least five points.
b. Sketch the function on the coordinate plane.
c. Describe the function’s end behavior
if someone could at least get me started on this is would help alot and i have no clue where to start :) thanks

a. A table of values usually has a column for "x" values & "y" values.
This is where if x is some number, you get to pick what, then y's value is what "f" spits out using x's value.
b. This is probably pretty straightforward. Using the x & y values you made up earlier, plot those points on a graph. It helps to have a lot of points so you really know what the shape of the graph looks like, but then you have to make all those points too :P.
c. A function's "end behavior" is basically what it's doing if x goes wayyyyy over to the left or the right.
Maybe the function's getting larger values or getting smaller or closer to a certain number.
