Find the measure of 2

f(x) ≥ 0 over the interval [5, ∞). is a valid prediction.

Step-by-step explanation:

We graph the points in the table and analyze the graph that results.

The graph is attached.

With the graph in hand, let us evaluate each of the choices given.

f(x) ≥ 0 over the interval [5, ∞).

The function is positive for x  ≥ 0; therefore this looks like a valid prediction.

f(x) ≤ 0 over the interval [–1, ∞).

f(x) ≤ 0 only over the interval [-1,5}; therefore this choice not a valid prediction.

f(x) > 0 over the interval (–∞, 1).

f(x) > 0 over the interval (5, ∞]: this choice is not a valid prediction.

f(x) < 0 over the interval (–∞. –1).

f(x) < 0 over the interval [-1, 5]: this choice is also not a valid prediction.

Thus only 1st choice is correct: f(x) ≥ 0 over the interval [5, ∞).
