The end behavior of the graph can be determined by looking at the trend of the graph as x approaches positive infinity and negative infinity.
In this case, as x approaches positive infinity (time increasing), the total amount of chips in the bag, y, decreases towards zero. This is because the graph is heading towards the point (7, 0) as x increases.
As x approaches negative infinity (time decreasing), the total amount of chips in the bag, y, increases towards 3.5. This is because the graph is heading towards the point (0, 3.5) as x decreases.
Therefore, the end behavior of this graph is that as time increases, the total amount of chips in the bag decreases towards zero, and as time decreases, the total amount of chips in the bag increases towards 3.5 oz.
an image shows a graph with the points (0, 3.5) and (7, 0).
The graph below represents the total amount of chips in the bag in oz., y, over time, x, in minutes.
what is the end behavior of this graph?
