Answer:

B.  f(x) = -x^3 - x^2 + 7x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we want to find the fastest-growing term in our given expressions and equate them when x is - infinite and when x is infinite to see the given trends.

For each of these equations, we will simply take the terms with the highest power and consider those.  The two cases we need to consider is + infinite for x and - infinite for x.  Let's check each of these equations.

Note, any value raised to an even power will be positive.  Any negative value raised to an odd power will be negative.

<u>[A] - x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^4 -->  f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[B] - x^3</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^3 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^3 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

<u>[C] 2x^5</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> 2(∞)^5 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> 2(-∞)^5 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[D] x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> (∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

Notice how only option B, when looking at asymptotic (fastest-growing) values, satisfies the originally given conditions for the relation of x to f(x).

Cheers.

The girl’s hockey team won 6 games, lost 3 games, and tied 2 games. What fraction of the games did they win?
Amanda [17]
They won 6/11 games.

When you add the games they won, lost, and tied you see that they played a total of 11 games. It tells you that they won 6 games so you would put 6 as the numerator and 11 as the denominator and get 6/11.
