Answer:

Explanation:

Since h(x) represents y, to solve this problem, we have to find all the x values that make the y positive. The best way to do this, is to mark the intercepts and see which intervals make y positive. (It sounds confusing but it isn't very.)

Take a look at the image below. The red represents x<0, the blue represents 0<x<3.5, and the green represents x>3.5. If we take a look at the shape of the graph we can see that the y coordinates are positive in the green and red range as the graph goes above the x-axis. Therefore the h(x)>0 when x<0 or when x>3.5. Now figure out which one of the answers lie in that range! Comment if you need help.

SIDE NOTE: I realize that this was unnecessary to solving the problem as a simple guess and check would have worked but I thought it would be beneficial for you to know how to solve these types of problems in general.

DOUBLE SIDE NOTE: I also realize that the intercept may not be exactly 3.5 as it doesn't state it in the problem, but for explanation's sake, I made that assumption. SORRY IF IT CONFUSED YOU.

Hope this was helpful!!!
