1. The problem asks for the end behavior of the function $y = f(x)$ based on the graph description. 2. End behavior describes how the function behaves as $x \to \infty$ (far right) and as $x \to -\infty$ (far left). 3. From the description: - As $x \to \infty$, the graph falls steeply downwards, so $f(x) \to -\infty$. - As $x \to -\infty$, the graph rises upwards, so $f(x) \to \infty$. 4. Therefore, the end behavior is: $$\text{as } x \to \infty, f(x) \to -\infty \quad \text{and} \quad \text{as } x \to -\infty, f(x) \to \infty.$$
