If the graph is periodic, you would expect to see the exact same pattern repeat itself from both the left and the right. This means that for x-values less than -2 and greater than 20, the graph would show the same waveform and characteristics as seen within the range of -2 to 20. Thus, the response stating "The exact same pattern would repeat itself from both the left and the right" would be the correct choice.
