ANSWER

As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞

As x → -∞, f(x) → -∞

Step-by-step explanation

The degree of this polynomial is 5, which is odd. Therefore, the ends of the graph will point one up and the other down.

The coefficient is positive - the coefficient is the coefficient of the variable with the highest degree, in this case x⁵ - so the right end (when x → ∞) points up (to ∞) and the left end points down (to -∞).
