HELP PLEASE!! Based on the table, which best predicts the end behavior of the graph of f(x)?

AAs x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞.
BAs x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → –∞.
CAs x → ∞, f(x) → –∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞.
DAs x → ∞, f(x) → –∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → –∞.

HELP PLEASE!! Based on the table, which best predicts the end behavior of the graph of f(x)? A. As x , f(x) , and as x , f(x) . B. As x , f(x) , and as x , f(x) class=

Verified Answer :

The answer would be D, it's pretty self explanatory if you look at the choices. Hope this helps!

Solution: The correct option is option D.

Explanation:

The end behavior is the behavior of function as the input of the function approaches to very large value and very small value.

If a function is f(x), then at \(x\rightarrow \infty\) and \(x\rightarrow -\infty\)  the value of f(x) approaches to either infinity or negative infinity which defines the end behavior.

From the given table it is noticed that the as x decreases and approaches to large negative values then the values of the function is also approaches to the large negative values. According to the table as \(x\rightarrow -\infty\), \(f(x)\rightarrow -\infty\).

From the given table it is noticed that the as x increases and approaches to large positive values then the values of the function is approaches to the large negative values. According to the table as \(x\rightarrow \infty\), \(f(x)\rightarrow -\infty\) .

Since only option D satisfy the both conditions, therefore the correct option is option D.
