The graph of the function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 1) is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 1, 0), has a vertex at (1.75, negative 6.2), and goes through (4, 0).

Which statement about the function is true?

The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < 0.
The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < –1 and where x > 4.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
–1 < x < 4.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
x < 1.5.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
