The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 6, 0), has a vertex at (negative 4, 4), and goes through (negative 2, 0).

Which statement about the function is true?

The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < –4.
The function is increasing for all real values of x where
–6 < x < –2.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
x < –6 and where x > –2.
The function is decreasing for all real values of x where
x < –4.

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
