![**Title: Understanding the End Behavior of Polynomial Functions**
The graph of \( y = f(x) \) is graphed below. What is the end behavior of \( f(x) \)?
![Graph]
### Graph Description
The graph shows a smooth curve representing a polynomial function. The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from -384 to 384. Key features of the graph include:
- The curve starts in the third quadrant, rises and crosses into the second quadrant, dips down crossing the x-axis around \( x = -3 \).
- It continues to rise, peaking in the first quadrant before falling again, crossing the x-axis around \( x = 7 \).
- Finally, it descends back into the fourth quadrant.
### End Behavior Analysis
Based on the graph, observe the following end behaviors:
- As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), the graph shows that \( y \rightarrow \infty \).
- As \( x \rightarrow \infty \), the graph shows that \( y \rightarrow -\infty \).
### Answer Choices
Select the correct end behavior:
- \( \circ \) As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), \( y \rightarrow \infty \) and as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), \( y \rightarrow -\infty \).
- \( \circ \) As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), \( y \rightarrow -\infty \) and as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), \( y \rightarrow \infty \).
- \( \circ \) As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), \( y \rightarrow \infty \) and as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), \( y \rightarrow \infty \).
- \( \circ \) As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), \( y \rightarrow -\infty \) and as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), \( y \rightarrow -\infty \).
[Submit Answer]
Understand the end behavior of polynomial functions to predict how they behave as the x-values become very large or very small. This knowledge is essential for understanding the long-term trends in various applications.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3b1b66bc-4c02-4c18-91d3-341b918380cc%2Fe701d055-4a58-41d2-aea5-35675632b81a%2Fg66tkap_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
