Use the key features of the polynomial f(x) = -2x3 + 5x2 - 2x - 3 to describe its end behavior. The left side continues down, and the right side continues up.
The left side continues down, and the right side continues down.
O The left side continues up, and right side continues up.
The left side continues up, and the right side continues down.

Step-by-step explanation:

First consider the parent function y = x^3 and its graph.  The left side starts in Quadrant III and continues up through Quadrant I.  A negative sign in front of the x^3 reflects this original graph in the x-axis; the graph now starts in Quadrant II and descends into Quadrant IV.

The end behavior of the given function is the same as that of the graph of y = -x^3;  

The graph begins in Quadrant II and descends into Quadrant IV, down.
