A 2-column table with 8 rows. The first column is labeled t with entries negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2, 3. The second column is labeled f of x with entries negative 54, negative 20, negative 4, 0, negative 2, negative 4, 0, 16. Using only the values given in the table for the function, f(x) = x3 – 3x – 2, what is the interval of x-values over which the function is decreasing?

(–4, 1)
(–4, –1)
(–1,1)
(–1, 2)

Agroup of students want to create a garden. they do not know the exact measurements but they propose using a variable to represent the length and width of the garden. the length of the garden is 10 feet longer than double the width. use a single variable to write algebraic expressions for both the length and width of the garden. write an algebraic expression for the area of the garden. use mathematical terms to describe this expression.
