Question

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

Answer 1

The last option

Explanation:

Look at the attached picture. Always come in from the left. When you follow the graph, the Y values are decreasing until you get to the vertex (or Turning Point) which looks like it is approximately (1.5, -6.2) then the Y values begin to increase.

Decreasing: -infinity < x < 1.5

Increasing: 1.5 < x < infinity
