Answer: The correct option is B, i.e., "As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞".
Explanation:
From the table it is noticed that the first row represents the value of x and the second row represents the value of f(x).
The value of f(x) is 14 at x = -5, after that the value of f(x) is decreased as the value of x increases.
The value of f(x) remains unchanged when the value of x approaches to 0 from 1.
The value of f(x) is -6 at x = 0, after that the value of f(x) is increased as the value of x increases.
From the table it is noticed that as the value of x approaches to positive infinity the value of f(x) is also approaches to positive infinity.
[tex]f(x)\rightarrow\infty \text{ as }x\rightarrow\infty[/tex]
From the table it is noticed that as the value of x approaches negative infinity the value of f(x) is also approaches to positive infinity.
[tex]f(x)\rightarrow\infty \text{ as }x\rightarrow-\infty[/tex]
These statement are shown in second option, therefore the second option is correct.
