Answer:

The first statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is f(x) = - (x + 6)(x + 2)  

⇒ f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

Now, condition for a function f(x) to be increasing at x = a is f'(a) > 0.

Now, f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

⇒ f'(x) = -2x - 8 {Differentiating with respect to x}

Now, f'(a) = -2a - 8 {Here a can be any real value}

And, the condition for increasing function at x = a is  

- 2a - 8 > 0

⇒ - 2a > 8

⇒ a < - 4

Therefore, the first statement is true i.e. the function is increasing for all real values of x where  x < – 4. (Answer)

icang [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-2x+4\\g(x)=2x^2-2x-8\\(g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x))\\=g(-2x+4)\\=2(-2x+4)^2-2(-2x+4)-8\\=2(4x^2-16x+16)+4x-8-8\\=8x^2+(-32x+4x)+(32-8-8)\\=8x^2-28x+16
