Question

19 what is the absolute maximum for the function? 20 where is the function decreasing?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first graph for maximum

Observe the peaks. The highest - point on the first graph has a y - value of 2.

Step2: Analyze the second graph for decreasing interval

For a function to be decreasing, as x increases, y decreases. In the second graph, the function is decreasing from \(x=- 8\) to \(x = - 4\).

Answer:

1. 2
2. From \(x=-8\) to \(x = - 4\)
