Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A. All the real values of x where x < -1
Procedure
Solve the inequality:
(x -3)(x+1)>0
That happens in two cases.
1) When both factors >0
x-3>0 and x+1>0
x>3 and x >-1
The intersection is x >3
2) When both factors <0
x-3<0 and x+1<0
x<3 and x<-1
the intersection is x<-1.
We have obtained that the function is positive for the intervals x < -1 and x > 3. But in one of those intervals the function is decresing and in the other is increasing.
You can recognize that the function given is a parabola and, because the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive, the parabola opens upward. Then the function is decreasing in the first interval and increasing in the second interval.
Answer:
so the first one unselect
the second one check it
the third one unselect
the fourth one check it
the fifth one check it
