Based on the graphs of f (x) and g(x), in which interval(s) are both functions increasing? Polynomial function f of x, which increases from the left and passes through the point negative 5 comma negative 4 and goes to a local maximum at negative 4 comma 0 and then goes back down through the point negative 3 comma negative 2 to a local minimum at the point negative 2 comma negative 4 and then goes back up through the point negative 1 comma 0 to the right, and a rational function g of x with one piece that increases from the left in quadrant 2 asymptotic to the line y equals 1 passing through the points negative 6 comma 2 and negative 3 comma 5 that is asymptotic to the line x equals negative 2 and then another piece that is asymptotic to the line x equals negative 2 and increases from the left in quadrant 3 passing through the point negative 1 comma negative 3 and 2 comma 0 that is asymptotic to the line y equals 1 (–°, °) (–°, –4) (–°, –4) ∪ (–2, °) (–°, –4) ∪ (2, °)
Step-by-step explanation: Find the slope using the formula m = StartFraction x 2 minus x 1 Over y 2 minus y 1 EndFraction, and then substitute one point and the slope into the equation y = m x + b to find the y-intercept.
