Answer:

The left end approaches positive infinity, and the right end approaches 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the behavior of the function in the left, we need to see what are the values of f(x) when x is smaller, so

For x = -10

f(x) = 10(0.75)^(-10) = 177.57

For x = -20

f(x) = 10(0.75)^(-20) = 3153.37

Therefore, when x is smaller, f(x) increases. It means that the left end approaches positive infinity.

In the same way, we need to see what are the values for f(x), when x is greater

For x = 20

f(x) = 10(0.75)^(20) = 0.0317

For x = 30

f(x) = 10(0.75)^(30) = 0.0017

So, when x increase, f(x) is closer to 0. It means that the right end approaches 0.

So, the answers are

The left end approaches positive infinity, and the right end approaches 0.
