Answer:

The second function (second graph and choice)

Explanation:

If you look at the second function you will see that within the closed interval [-3,-2] the graph y values are positive

First choice is incorrect since at x = -2 the y value is negative

Third choice incorrect since at x = -2, y value is negative

Fourth choice incorrect since y value is negative for x = -2
