**Determine the End Behavior of the Function's Graph**

Consider the function:

\[ f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x^6 - 7x^4 - x^3 + 7 \]

1. **Analysis of End Behavior:**
   - As \( x \rightarrow -\infty \), \( f(x) \rightarrow \) \(\_\_\_\_\).
   - As \( x \rightarrow \infty \), \( f(x) \rightarrow \) \(\_\_\_\_\).

2. **Options for Filling the Blanks:**
   - \( \infty \)
   - \( -\infty \)

Select the appropriate behavior as \( x \) approaches negative and positive infinity.

Note: The highest degree term, \(-\frac{1}{2}x^6\), determines the end behavior of the polynomial.
