The graph of the function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 1) is shown below.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 1, 0), has a vertex at (1.75, negative 6.2), and goes through (4, 0).

Which statement about the function is true?

The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < 0.
The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < –1 and where x > 4.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
–1 < x < 4.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
x < 1.5.

I think it might be the third answer choice

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is going through the points of a parabola

The function is decreasing for all real values of x where

x < 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation: it's D on edg

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
