Question

The function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 5 is shown on the graph. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 5, 0), has a vertex at (negative 2, 9), and goes through (1, 0). Which statement about the function is true? The domain of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to −2. The domain of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9. The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to −2. The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9.

Answer 1

Answer:

"The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9."

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question the domain is (-∞,∞)

The range is all numbers less than 9 (the y-coordinate of the vertex)

The reason the numbers are less than 9 is because the graph is concave down (aka it looks like a frowny face)

Therefore the answer is "The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9."
