How do you describe the end behavior of y=(x+1)(x-2)([x^2]-3)?

See explanation.

Explanation:

[x^2] forms the sequence {n^2), with the limit oo, as xtto +-oo.

y = x^2 [x^2] (1+1/x)(1-2/x)(1-3/([x^2])) to oo, as x to +-oo.

Piecewise, the graph is a series of arcs of parabolas, with holes at

ends.

For example,

y= (x+1)(x-2)(-1), x in [sqrt2, sqrt3), giving

(x-1/2)^2=-(y-9/4)

The size of a typical parabola, a = 1/(4( [n^2]-3)) to 0, as x to oo#.

The center to (1/2, -oo), on the common axis x = 1/2.

The arcs drift away from the common axis x = 1/2.

I have done some research for giving details. I would review, and if

necessary, revise my answer, later.
