Answer:

The function is negative for all real values of x where -6< x < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6)

The graph of the function is as shown in the attached figure.

As shown, we can deduce the following:

The function is positive for all real values of x where x > -2 and x < -6

The function is zero at x = -2 and x = -6

The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2

Compare the observations to the given statements:

So, The true statement is The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2

Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.
