The second choice. Intersects means cuts the y axis. And if you go to -infinity (figuratively speaking! lol) x^3 dominates and goes to -infinity, way down, the other way for infinity
A cube has sides that are all equal lengths .
Volume of a cube is S^3, where S is the length of the side.
Volume = 3^3 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubic inches.
Using compass directions we simply describe the direction using the angle relative to N, S, E & W.
So in this case, the vector is travelling south west at an angle "41 degrees South of West."
