To describe the end behavior of the function \( y = \log x \), we need to consider the two limits of the function as \( x \) approaches zero from the right and as \( x \) approaches positive infinity:
-
As \( x \to 0^+ \) (which means \( x \) approaches 0 from the positive side), the value of \( y = \log x \) approaches negative infinity. That is, \( y \to -\infty \).
-
As \( x \to \infty \) (as \( x \) increases without bound), the value of \( y = \log x \) approaches positive infinity. That is, \( y \to \infty \).
Thus, the correct description of the end behavior of the function \( y = \log x \) is:
As \( x \to 0^+ \), \( y \to -\infty \), and as \( x \to \infty \), \( y \to \infty \).
