To analyze the end behavior and the intervals of increase/decrease for the given quadratic function defined by the points (-1,0), (0,4), (1.5,6.25), and (4,0), we can follow the characteristics of quadratic functions.

A) End Behavior:

1. As x approaches −∞, f(x) approaches **∞** (the parabola opens upwards, as indicated by the vertex being at a higher point).

2. As x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches **∞** (the parabola continues to rise as x increases).

B) Intervals of Increase/Decrease:

1. The quadratic function is increasing from **0** (where the vertex is at its maximum) to **4** (where it returns to y = 0 as x moves to the right),

2. and is decreasing from **-1** (where y = 0) to **0** (where the vertex is).

Putting it all together:

A) End Behavior:

as x approaches −∞, f(x) approaches **∞**

as x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches **∞**

B) Intervals of Increase/Decrease:

The quadratic function is increasing from **0** to **4**,

and is decreasing from **-1** to **0**.
