Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out the negative sign.
−(2b^2+5b−12)
2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.
−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)
3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))
4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.
−(b+4)(2b−3)

Answer:
The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
Please take a look at the attached image.
You will see a graph of the given function h(x) = -2
. The function is decreasing.
The function starts at 3 and starts to go towards negative infinity on the x-axis. Therefore the function is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).
