Math Problem Statement

State the following properties of the graph of the function without drawing the graph: 1) The behavior of the graph as x takes values far to the right or far to the left. 2) The number of intersections with the x-axis. Functions provided are: a) f(x) = x^3 - 2x - 1, b) f(x) = 2x^3 - x^4, c) f(x) = x(x - 2)(3x - 2), d) f(x) = -2(x - 1)^3(x + 1)^2.

Question: State the following properties of the graph of the function without drawing the graph:

  1. The behavior of the graph as xx takes values far to the right or far to the left.
  2. The number of intersections with the xx-axis.

Options for the function: a) f(x)=x3−2x−1f(x) = x^3 - 2x - 1
b) f(x)=2x3−x4f(x) = 2x^3 - x^4
c) f(x)=x(x−2)(3x−2)f(x) = x(x - 2)(3x - 2)
d) f(x)=−2(x−1)3(x+1)2f(x) = -2(x - 1)^3(x + 1)^2

Would you like me to solve for both properties for each option in detail?
