Question

Identify the graph shown as linear or non linear. Then estimate and interpret the intercepts of the graph, any symmetry, where the function is positive, negative, increasing, and decreasing, the x-coordinate of any relative extrema, and the behavior of the graph.

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

Identify the graph shown as linear or non linear. - nonlinear since it is not a linear

Then estimate and interpret the intercepts of the graph,

y intercept - ( 0,-6) where it crosses the y axis

x intercepts ( -12,0) and ( 12,0)

any symmetry, symmetric across the y axis

where the function is positive, or above zero (-∞, -12) and (12,∞)

negative, or below zero ( -12,12)

increasing, growing ( 0, ∞)

and decreasing, getting smaller (-∞, 0)

the x-coordinate of any relative extrema, the minimum is (0,-6)

and the behavior of the graph. As x goes to -∞ y goes to ∞ and s x goes to ∞ y goes to ∞
