Determine the interval(s) on which the given function is decreasing. Polynomial going up from the left and passing through the point negative 1 comma 0 and going to a relative maximum at the point 0 comma 5 and then going down to a relative minimum at the point 1 comma 4 and then going up to the right

Answer Choices:
(–∞, –1) ∪ (1, ∞)
(–1, ∞)
(–∞, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)
(0, 1)

Analyzing the text, we find that the function is decreasing over the following intervals: (0, 1)

Going from maximum to minimum, meaning that between them the function decreases, thus, the first interval it is decreasing is between (0,1).

Going up, increases.

Thus, the function decreases over the following interval: (0, 1)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
