Which statement BEST describes this quadratic function?
A) decreasing when x < 0
B) decreasing when x < –1
C) decreasing when x > –1
D) decreasing when x > 1 and x < –3

C) decreasing when x > –1

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing, or whether it increases or decreases in an interval, you must look at the function or the interval from left to right.

Start at the left and move to the right. You see that the function (the y-coordinate of each point) is increasing from an v value of negative infinity till x = -1. At x = -1 the function reaches a maximum point. Now start at x = -1 and, moving to the right, the value of the function (the y-coordinate of each point) decreases.

The correct answer is C) decreasing when x > –1

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
