Answer:

"No, it is not periodic. The function does not repeat on regular intervals."


Explanation:

A periodic function repeats itself at regular intervals.

If you look at the graph, it never repeats at regular intervals. It oscillates back and forth and diverges when x grows larger and larger.


If you look at the third answer choice, it makes the most sense.

Third answer choice is right.
