Find the interval(s) on which the function is negative. y = x^2 - 6x - 16

I. (-∞, -2)
II. (-∞, 3)
III. (-2, 8)
IV. (8,∞)

A. III only
B. I only
C. II only
D. I, II

I am going to say that it is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helped out a lot!

where is the option given

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
