What's the end behavior of f(x)

**The graph of \(y = f(x)\) is below. What is the end behavior of \(f(x)\)?**

![Graph]

The given image shows the graph of the function \( y = f(x) \) plotted on an \( xy \)-coordinate system. The \( y \)-axis ranges approximately from -4677.75 to 4677.75, while the \( x \)-axis ranges from -10 to 10. The graph depicts a polynomial function that shows numerous oscillations.

**Detailed Explanation of the Graph:**
- Moving from left to right:
  - The function starts in the upper left quadrant declining sharply, passing through the x-axis around \( x = -7 \), and continues to decrease.
  - It then rises, creating a local peak near \( x = -4 \).
  - The function then declines sharply again, reaching another local minimum.
  - Thereafter, the function increases again creating another local peak around \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \).
  - It dips slightly before ascending sharply.
  - Another oscillation occurs as the function dips before \( x = 5 \) and then rises steeply in an increasing direction as \( x \) continues to increase.

**Observations:**
- As \( x \to \infty \), \( f(x) \) increases without bound.
- As \( x \to -\infty \), \( f(x) \) decreases without bound.

### Multiple-Choice Responses:
- \( \bigcirc \) as \( x \to \infty \), \( f(x) \to -\infty \) and as \( x \to -\infty \), \( f(x) \to -\infty \)
- \( \bigcirc \) as \( x \to \infty \), \( f(x) \to \infty \) and as \( x \to -\infty \), \( f(x) \to \infty \)
- \( \bigcirc \) as \( x \to \infty \), \( f(x) \to \infty \) and as \( x \to -\infty \), \( f(x) \to -\infty \)
- \( \bigcirc \) as \( x \to \infty \), \( f(x) \to -\infty \) and as \( x \
