It is impossible to know what the graph would look like outside of what is pictured.

The exact same pattern would repeat itself from both the left and the right.

Similar waves would occur, but the maxima and minima may be different or the waves may be larger or smaller.

The graph would continue in the directions shown. Both ends would point down.

Answer 1

If the graph is periodic, it means that it repeats the same pattern over regular intervals. Therefore, for x-values less than -2 and greater than 20, you would expect to see the same pattern as shown in the graph for those specific intervals.

The correct response would be:

**The exact same pattern would repeat itself from both the left and the right.**
