statements
case a) The domain is {x|x ≤ –2}-------> Is False
the domain is all real numbers---------> the interval (-∞,∞)
case b) The range is {y|y ≤ 6}.------> Is True
The range is the interval (-∞,6]
case c) The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2).-----> Is True
See the attached figure
case d)The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞).-----> Is False
In the interval (-4,-2) the function is increasing and in the interval (-2,∞) the function is decreasing (See the attached figure)
case e)The function has a positive y-intercept.------> Is True
The value of y-intercept is 
You can write three equations in the numbers of nickels (n), dime (d), and quarters (q).
n + d + q = 23 . . . . . . . there are 23 coins total
0n +d -q = 2 . . . . . . . . .there are 2 more dimes than quarters
5n +10d +25q = 250 . .the total value is $2.50
The collection includes 11 nickels, 7 dimes, and 5 quarters.
_____
I used the matrix function of my calculator to solve these equations. You can find q by subtracting from the last equation five times the sum of the first two equations.
(5n +10d +25q) -5((n +d +q) +(d -q)) = (250) -5(23 +2)
25q = 125 . . . . . . . simplify
q = 5
From the second equation,
d = q +2 = 7
And from the first,
n = 23 -5 -7 = 11
