Answer:
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < 1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
The vertex is the point (1.5,-6.25)
we know that
The function is decreasing in the interval ----> (-∞,1.5) x < 1.5
That means----> the function is decreasing for all real values of x less than 1.5
The function is increasing in the interval ----> (1.5,∞) x> 1.5
That means----> the function is increasing for all real values of x greater than 1.5
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
therefore
The statement that is true is
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < 1.5.
