The graph of f(x) is shown.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 1.75, 4), has a vertex of (negative 0.25, negative 3), and goes through (1.4, 4). Solid circles appear on the parabola at (negative 1.6, 3.1), (negative 1.2, 0), (negative 0.25, negative 3), (0.8, 0), (1.2, 3.1).
Over which interval on the x-axis is there a negative rate of change in the function?

–2 to –1
–1.5 to 0.5
0 to 1
0.5 to 1.5

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

Match each statement with its corresponding value for the system below: y = -2(3)x and y = 9x - 2 1. the number of points of intersection. -2 2. the x-coordinate of the solution. 1 3. the y-coordinate of the solution. 0

Need this asap if anyone can i would be very grateful. if you could show workings that would really
