Find the equation that the given graph represents and give the domain, range, and interval(s) over which the function is increasing and decreasing.

A. P(x) = -x4 + x2 - 3x - 4; 
domain: (-?, ?); range: (-?, ?); 
Increasing over [-.34, .76];
Decreasing over (-?, -.34] and [.76, ?)
B. P(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 3x + 4; 
domain: (-?, ?); range: (-?, ?); 
Increasing over (-?, -.86] and [.57, ?);
Decreasing over [-.86, .57]
C. P(x) = 2x4 - x2 + 4; 
domain: (-?, ?); range: (-?, ?); 
Increasing over (-?, .57];
Decreasing over (-?, .57] and [.86, ?)
D. P(x) = -x3 - x - 4; 
domain: (-?, ?); range: (-?, ?);
