To determine where the function is negative, you’ll need to analyze the function you’ve been given. Typically, this involves finding the points where the function crosses the x-axis (roots) and testing intervals around these points to see if the function values are negative.

Assuming that the function has a root at x = 0.75, you would check the sign of the function in the intervals before and after 0.75:

1. For x < 0.75, choose a test point (e.g., x = 0). If the function is positive there, it means the function is positive in this interval.
2. For x > 0.75, choose a test point (e.g., x = 1). If the function is negative there, it means the function is negative in this interval.

Based on this analysis, if the function is negative for x > 0.75, the correct answer is b) x > 0.75. However, without knowing the specific function, please analyze it further or provide the function for precise identification.
