The statements about the function that are true are
- The vertex of the function is at (–3,–16).
- The graph is increasing on the interval x > –3.
- The graph is positive only on the intervals where x < –7 and where x > 1.
The equation of the graph is given as
f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 7)
The graph of the function is added as an attachment
On the graph, we have
Vertex = (-3, -16)
This is so because the graph has a minimum point of (-3, -16)
Also, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1 and x = -7
This means that the graph is positive at x >1 and x >-7
Because the vertex is a minimum, the graph is increasing at the left of its symmetry i.e. x > -3
