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.

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
