Answer:

C) as x –> ∞, q(x) –> –∞, and as x –> -∞, q(x) –> –∞

Explanation:

use the end behavior chart to figure out the end directions of the graph. remember these

E O

+|↑↑|↓↑

–|↓↓|↑↓

all you need to do is look at the first number of the equation and ask yourself:

1. Is the first number even or odd?

2. is the first number positive or negative?

find where the answers to both meet on the chart.

so, in this question, the first number is even and negative. when using the chart we see that they meet at the ↓↓ which means that the end behavior on both sides is going towards negative infinity.
