Answer:
From -2<x<-1, the function F(X) is increasing. (B)
Really, it increases all from around -2.5<x<0.5
C is also the second answer, as it increases til around 2.5
It is decreasing from -4<x<-3. But increases right after. It then starts to slow down around x = 1 and go down again.
Which means (B) is your answer.
If you want to get fancy, its a polynomial and if you take the derivative for instantaneous rate, you will see f prime is increasing if you make an example function.
It would take Natalie 6 hours by herself since she will finish in twice the time if she had Caesar to help.
Answer: The axis of symmetry is x = 0
This is basically saying that the axis of symmetry is the vertical y axis
The vertex is either the highest point or the lowest point on the parabola, depending on what the value of 'a' is. If the vertex is the y intercept, then the vertex is on the y axis. The axis of symmetry goes through the vertex.
