the number of students in attendance since 2000 at Lamar community college can be represented by the equation below where x equals the time in years after 2000.

Question

s(x)=(x-50)^2+23
the college creates a graph to better view the decreases and increases in attendance. which of the following describes the end behavior of their graph?

Answer 1

As x approaches infinity, the value of s(x) approaches positive infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, the value of s(x) also approaches positive infinity. This means that the end behavior of the graph of the attendance function s(x) is that it increases without bound in both directions.
