Consider the graph of the function .
By looking at the graph and substituting a few successively larger values of into the function, what is the end behavior of the graph as increases along the positive -axis?
- AThe value of approaches infinity as increases.
- BThe value of approaches negative infinity as increases.
- CThe value of approaches zero as the value of increases.
Similarly, what is the end behavior of the graph as decreases?
- AThe value of approaches zero.
- BThe value of approaches .
- CThe value of approaches .
Finally, by interpreting the graph, what is happening to the function when the value of approaches zero?
- AThe value of approaches negative infinity when gets closer to zero from the negative direction or from the positive direction.
- BThe value of approaches negative infinity when gets closer to zero from the negative direction and approaches positive infinity when gets closer to zero from the positive direction.
- CThe value of approaches positive infinity when gets closer to zero from the negative direction and approaches negative infinity when gets closer to zero from the positive direction.
- DThe value of approaches positive infinity when gets closer to zero from the negative direction or from the positive direction.
