Sketch a graph that has the following characteristics.

A. crosses the y-axis at (0,4)
B. increases in the interval -12 ≤x ≤-2
C. Constant in the interval -2 ≤ x ≤ 2
D. Decreases in the interval 2 ≤ x ≤12

5x + 2 = 12 solve the following equation. then place the correct number in the box provided.

A) if $50000 is invested in a bank account that pays 9.3% of interest compounded on a six-monthly basis, how much money will be in the account after 3 and 12 years? b) if matusalen's father had put $2.0 in the bank when he was born and there, how long would matusalen have had to his death (969 years later) if the interest was 7% per year composed each month and weekly?

[10 points, algebra 2]according to my answer key the restrictions are -1 and 4. but why not positive 1?
