Question

Miguel collected data modeling a company's costs versus its profits. The data are shown in the table:


x g(x)
−3 17
−1 −3
0 −4
2 13


Which of the following is a true statement for this function?
The function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1.
The function is increasing from x = −3 to x = −1.
The function is increasing from x = −1 to x = 0.
The function is decreasing from x = 0 to x = 2

Answer 1

Answer:

"The function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1."

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at the first answer choice, we can definitely see that the function value ( g(x) ) is decreasing from x = -3 to x = -1.

At x = -3, the value is 17

At x = -1, the value is -3

So from 17 to -3, the value is really decreasing.

First answer choice is right.

Note: looking at the other choices, they aren't correct

Answer 2

Answer:

It's decreasing. A is the answer.
