Question

Can someone help with this challenging graph ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) (-∞, -8) (-6, -4) (-2, ∞)

(b) -6, -2

(c) negative

(d) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  A function is "decreasing" when the y-value decreases as the x-value increases.

⇒ the function is decreasing over these intervals : (-∞, -8) (-6, -4) (-2, ∞)

(b) Local maxima are the points on the function where it reaches a maximum.

⇒ maxima at x = -6 and x = -2

(c) negative

(d) 5
