The correct statement regarding the quadratic function f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 1) is given by:

It is increasing for x < -1 and x > 4.

When a quadratic function is increasing and when it is decreasing?

Considering a concave up quadratic function, with positive leading coefficient, we have that:

  • It is increasing to the left of the lower root and to the right of the upper root.
  • It is decreasing between the roots.

In this problem, the function is given by:

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 1).

The roots are:

  • x - 4 = 0 -> x = 4.
  • x + 1 = 0 -> x = -1.

Hence the correct statement is:

It is increasing for x < -1 and x > 4.
