\begin{gathered} \lim_(x\to-\infty)x^3(x+3)(-5x+1)=\lim_(x\to-\infty)x^3\lim_(x\to-\infty)(x+3)\lim_(x\to-\infty)(-5x+1) \\ \lim_(x\to-\infty)x^3=-\infty \\ \lim_(x\to-\infty)(x+3)=-\infty \\ \lim_(x\to-\infty)(-5x+1)=\infty \\ \therefore\lim_(x\to-\infty)f(x)=\infty \\ \lim_(x\to\infty)x^3(x+3)(-5x+1)=\lim_(x\to\infty)x^3\lim_(x\to\infty)(x+3)\lim_(x\to\infty)(-5x+1) \\ \lim_(x\to\infty)x^3=\infty \\ \lim_(x\to\infty)(x+3)=\infty \\ \lim_(x\to\infty)(-5x+1)=-\infty \\ \therefore\lim_(x\to\infty)f(x)=-\infty \end{gathered}
