Question
Use the graph of \( f \) to determine each of the following:

(a) the domain of \( f \)

(b) the range of \( f \)

(c) the zero(s) of \( f \)

(d) \(f(-1)\)

(e) the intervals on which \( f \) is increasing

(f) the intervals on which \( f \) is decreasing

(g) the values for which \( f(x) \leq 0 \)

(h) any relative maxima or minima

(i) the value(s) of \( x \) for which \( f(x) = -4 \)

(j) Is \( f(4) \) positive or negative?

### Explanation of the Graph:

The graph of \( f \) appears to be a parabola that opens downwards. The vertex of the parabola indicates the maximum value of the function. The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10, while the y-axis ranges from -6 to 6.

### Detailed Description:

- **Domain** refers to all possible input values (x-values) for the function \( f \).
- **Range** refers to all possible output values (y-values) for the function \( f \).
- **Zeros of \( f \)** are the x-values where \( f(x) = 0 \), meaning where the graph intersects the x-axis.
- **\( f(-1) \)** is the y-value when \( x = -1 \).
- **Intervals of increase** are the x-values where the function is increasing as you move from left to right.
- **Intervals of decrease** are the x-values where the function is decreasing as you move from left to right.
- **Values for which \( f(x) \leq 0 \)** are the x-values where the graph is below or on the x-axis.
- **Relative maxima or minima** are the highest or lowest points in the vicinity of the vertex of the graph.
- **Values of \( x \) for which \( f(x) = -4 \)** are the x-values where the graph intersects the line \( y = -4 \).
- **\( f(4) \)** refers to determining whether the y-value at \( x = 4 \) is positive or negative.

By analyzing the graph, you can determine the specific values for each question.
