Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice the first pair of coefficients is the same as the last pair (with the sign changed). This means we can factor by grouping.
f(x) = (2x^3 +6x^2) -(2x +6)
f(x) = 2x^2(x +3) -2(x +3)
f(x) = 2(x^2 -1)(x +3) = 2(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)
The factors are made to be zero when x is 1, -1, or -3.
The x-intercepts are (1, 0), (-1, 0), (-3, 0).
The y-intercept is the constant, -6.

Answer:
'linear decreasing' best describes interval C on the graph shown.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: <em>The missing graph is attached below. </em>
From the attached graph, it is easy to figure out that the interval C on the graph shown is showing a straight line. So the graph of the function would be linear.
Also on the interval C, the value of y is decreasing as the value of x increase. So, the slope of the straight line would be negative.
So the interval C indicates that the function is decreasing there.
Therefore, 'linear decreasing' best describes interval C on the graph shown.
