SERIOUSLY HEL What is the end behavior of the graph of f(x) = – 0.5x2 – 3x – 4?

A.
as x increases, f(x) increases;

as x decreases, f(x) decreases

B.
as x increases, f(x) decreases;

as x decreases, f(x) decreases

C.
as x increases, f(x) increases;

as x decreases, f(x) increases

D.
as x increases, f(x) decreases;

as x decreases, f(x) increases

  B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient. f(x) will tend toward negative infinity as x gets larger or smaller. That is ...

_____

Even degree means the end behaviors are the same for both large and small x. Negative leading coefficient means the function value decreases for larger x.

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
