**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.
