question 8
end behavior of a power function
identify the end behaviors for the function graphed to the right
right hand end behavior:
as ( x \to ), ( f(x) \to )
left hand end behavior:
as ( x \to ), ( f(x) \to )

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the right - hand end behavior

As \(x\) approaches \(+\infty\) (right - hand side), looking at the graph, the function values \(f(x)\) are going down. So as \(x\to+\infty\), \(f(x)\to-\infty\).

Step2: Analyze the left - hand end behavior

As \(x\) approaches \(-\infty\) (left - hand side), looking at the graph, the function values \(f(x)\) are going up. So as \(x\to-\infty\), \(f(x)\to+\infty\).

Answer:

Right - hand end behavior: As \(x\to+\infty\), \(f(x)\to-\infty\)
Left - hand end behavior: As \(x\to-\infty\), \(f(x)\to+\infty\)
