The end behavior of the graph is:

f(x) → +∞ as x → -∞ and f(x) → +∞ as x → +∞

What is the End behavior of the Graph?

The end behavior of a function describes the behavior of the graph of the function at the "ends" of the x-axis, as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity.

Now, looking at the given graph, we see that as x increases beyong 2, y increases infinitely.

Similarly, as x decreases beyond -2, we see that y increases to infinity. Thus:

The end behavior of the graph is:

f(x) → +∞ as x → -∞ and f(x) → +∞ as x → +∞
