1 answer:
Answer:
B. II only . . . (-1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function factors as ...
f(x) = (x +1)(x -4)
The factors are zero when x=-1 and x=4. The value of the function will be negative when one of these factors is negative, between x=-1 and x=4. In interval notation, that interval is ...
(-1, 4) . . . interval for f(x) < 0 . . . . . . interval description II (only)
