question 293

Multiple Choice

Use the x-intercepts to find the intervals on which the graph of f is above and below the x-axis.
- $$f ( x ) = ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) above the \(x\)-axis: \(( - 4,2 )\)
• below the \(x\)-axis: \(( - \infty , - 4 ) , ( 2 , \infty )\)
• B) above the \(x\)-axis: no intervals
• below the \(x\)-axis: \(( - \infty , - 4 ) , ( - 4,2 ) , ( 2 , \infty )\)
• C) above the \(x\)-axis: \(( - \infty , - 4 ) , ( - 4,2 ) , ( 2 , \infty )\)
• below the \(x\)-axis: no intervals
• D) above the \(x\)-axis: \(( - \infty , - 4 ) , ( 2 , \infty )\)
• below the \(x\)-axis: \(( - 4,2 )\)
