Find the positive and negative domains of the function below:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Thus, the function is negative (less than zero) for all . There are no values for which is positive (greater than zero).
In conclusion:
Therefore, the solution matches choice 4:

The graph of the function below does not intersect the \( x \)-axis.
The parabola's vertex is marked A.
Find all values of \( x \) where
\( f\left(x\right) > 0 \).
The domain is all possible x-values (here: all real numbers). Positive/negative domains are x-values where the function output is positive or negative. Very different concepts!
Since a = -1 is negative, the parabola opens downward, making the vertex the highest point. The maximum y-value equals the k-value from vertex form.
The maximum y-value is -1 (at the vertex). Since the parabola opens downward, all other points have y < -1, which means y is always negative everywhere!
This notation is asking: For negative x-values, where is y positive? Answer: nowhere. For positive x-values, where is y negative? Answer: everywhere (all positive x-values).
Yes! Try x=0: y=-(0-3)²-1=-10 (negative). Try x=5: y=-(5-3)²-1=-5 (negative). This confirms y is always negative.
