Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x+7)[/tex]

Zeroes of the function are

[tex](x-1)(x+7)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-7,1[/tex]

It means, f(x) intersect x-axis at x=-7 and x=1.

Mid value of -7 and 1 is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

[tex]\dfrac{-7+1}{2}=-3[/tex]

At x=-3,

[tex]f(-3)=(-3-1)(-3+7)=(-4)(4)=-16[/tex]

So, the vertex of the function is at (-3,-16).

The given function can be written as

[tex]f(x)=x^2+7x-x-7[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=x^2+6x-7[/tex]

Here leading coefficient is negative, it means it is an upward parabola.

So, we conclude that

1. The graph is increasing on the interval x > -3.

2. The graph is decreasing on the interval x < -3.

3. The graph is positive only on the intervals where x <-7 and where x > 1.

4. The graph is negative only on the intervals where -7 < x < 1.

Therefore, the correct options are 2, 3 and 4.
