On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 2, negative 2), has a vertex at (1.5, 10), and goes through (5, negative 2). Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = –x2 + 3x + 8 increasing? (–∞, 1.5) (–∞, 10.25) (1.5, ∞) (10.25, ∞)

The decibel level of sound is 50 db greater on a busy street than in a quiet room where the intensity of sound is watt/m2. the level of sound in the quiet room is db, and the intensity of sound in the busy street is watt/m2. use the formula , where is the sound level in decibels, i is the intensity of sound, and is the smallest sound intensity that can be heard by the human ear (roughly equal to watts/m2).
