Question

Which statement is true about the end behavior of the graphed function?

A) as the x-values go to positive infinity, the functions values go to negative infinity.

B) as the x-values go to zero,
the functions values go to positive infinity.

C) as the x-values go to negative infinity, the functions values are equal to zero.

D) as the x-values go to positive infinity, the functions values go to positive infinity.

I really want to get this right :)

Answer 1

its A because it goes from up to down.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

A) as the x-values go to positive infinity, the functions values go to negative infinity.  

Explanation:

We can see in the graph that the right hand portion continues downward to negative infinity.  The right hand side of the graph is "as x approaches positive infinity," since x continues to grow larger and larger.  This means as x approaches positive infinity, the value of the function approaches negative infinity.
