Question

Find the intervals where the piecewise defined function is negative, and enter your answer in interval notation. If none exist, enter NONE.

 

The function is negative when x is in the interval(s):

**Transcription and Explanation:**

**Text:**
Given the graph of the piecewise defined function below, answer the following problem parts. Use capital U (U) for union, -INF for \(-\infty\), and INF for \(\infty\).

**Graph Description:**
The graph shows a piecewise function with different sections across the x-axis.

1. **Section 1:**
   - Domain: \((-10, -4)\)
   - The graph is a curve that decreases steeply from left to right.
   - Starts from a closed dot at approximately \((-7, 0)\) and goes through the point \((9, 6)\), and finally ends with an open dot at \((-4, 0)\).

2. **Section 2:**
   - Domain: \((-4, 2)\)
   - The graph is a straight line with positive slope starting from an open dot below the x-axis at approximately \((-4, -6)\) to a closed dot above the x-axis at \((2, 2)\).

3. **Section 3:**
   - Domain: \((2, 10)\)
   - The graph is another straight line with a slight positive slope from a closed dot at \((2, -4)\) to an open dot at \((4, -3)\).

4. **Section 4:**
   - Domain: \((6, 10)\)
   - The graph is a curved line with a gradual slope.
   - This section starts from a closed dot at around \((6, 3)\) and moves upwards, ending at a height of approximately eight units with an open dot.

Each section of the function has its distinct pattern or slope, characterized by either a linear or curved appearance, with clear demarcations at the boundary points, represented by open or closed dots.
