question 40

Multiple Choice

Determine where the function is increasing and where it is decreasing.
- $$f ( x ) = - 4 x ^ { 2 } - 2 x - 11$$

• A) increasing on \(\left( - \infty , - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right)\)
• decreasing on \(\left( - \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \infty \right)\)
• B) increasing on \(\left( - \infty , \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right)\)
• decreasing on \(\left( \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \infty \right)\)
• C) decreasing on \(\left( - \infty , - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right)\)
• increasing on \(\left( - \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \infty \right)\)
• D) increasing on \(\left( - \infty , - \frac { 43 } { 4 } \right)\)
• decreasing on \(\left( - \frac { 43 } { 4 } , \infty \right)\)
