The graph of the function f (x) = - (x + 3) (x - 1) is shown below.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative 3, 0), has a vertex at (negative 1, 4), and goes through (1, 0).

Which statement about the function is true?

The function is positive for all real values of x where

x < - 1.

The function is negative for all real values of x where

x 1.

The function is positive for all real values of x where

x > 0.

The function is negative for all real values of x where

x - 1.

It opens downward and crosses the x axis at (-3,0) and (1,0) this means for any x value less than - 3 or greater than 1, the function is negative.

The answer would be:

The function is negative for all real values of x where

x 1.
