Answer:
As x approaches ∞, y approaches -∞
As x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) is a fifth degree (odd function ) with negative leading coefficient
If exponent is odd and leading coefficient is negative then end behavior is
As x approaches ∞, y approaches -∞
As you go on the right , f(x) goes down
As x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞
As you go on the left , f(x) goes up

Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic expressions are best evaluated using a reliable calculator. The Google calculator always follows the Order of Operations, so can give you a good answer to such questions.
(1/4)^-2 - (5^0)(2)(1^-1)
= 16 - (1)(2)(1) . . . . evaluate the exponents first
= 16 -2 . . . . . . . . . evaluate the product next
= 14 . . . . . . . . . . . finally, evaluate the sum
___
The rule of exponents is ...
a^-b = 1/(a^b)
