Without seeing the graph, it's impossible to tell. The same can be said if we don't know the function rule. However, we can rule out three non-answers.
Choice B is false because the interval [1,3] has f(x) below zero but the rest of the interval to the right of x = 3 has f(x) not below zero.
Choice C is false. The value x = -1 leads to f(x) = 0 which is not greater than 0
Choice D is false because the values 8 and 4 are positive
After eliminating B, C, & D, we are left with choice A as the answer.
So a diver went 25.65 ft BELOW so it's negative.
then he went 16.5 ft further down, so that's negative also.
he then rose 12.45 ft, so that's positive.
so the expression is: -25.65+-16.5+12.45, the answer is 23.7
