Answer:
Function f(x) is positive for the values x ≤ -6 and x ≥ -2 and negative in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
As given in the graph,
Given function is a quadratic function, f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6)
With x-intercepts of the function, x = -6 and -2
Graph below the x-axis represents the negative values of the function.
Graph above the x-axis represents the positive values of the function.
Therefore, function f(x) is positive for the values x ≤ -6 and x ≥ -2 and the function is negative in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -2.
