On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 6, 0), has a vertex at (negative 4, negative 4), and goes through (negative 2, 0). The graph of the function f(x) = (x + 6)(x + 2) is shown. Which statements describe the graph? Check all that apply. The vertex is the maximum value. The axis of symmetry is x = –4. The domain is all real numbers. The function is increasing over (–∞, –4). The function is negative over (–6, –2).

City l has a temperature of −3 °f. city m has a temperature of −7 °f. use the number line shown to answer the questions: number line from negative 8 to positive 8 in increments of 1 is shown. part a: write an inequality to compare the temperatures of the two cities. (3 points) part b: explain what the inequality means in relation to the positions of these numbers on the number line. (4 points) part c: use the number line to explain which city is warmer. (3 points)
