An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 9x − 18, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of hours after the sun has risen. When f(x) is a negative number, the icicle is not dripping. Determine the values when the icicle starts and stops dripping. x = −3 and x = 6 x = 3 and x = −6 x = 3 and x = 6 x = −3 and x = −6
