Question

appc lesson 1.2 homework 1. the graph of y = f(x) is shown. identify the intervals on which f is increasing, decreasing, and constant.

Explanation:

Step1: Check slope for increasing

If slope > 0, function is increasing. Intervals are (-3,1) and (4,6).

Step2: Check slope for decreasing

If slope < 0, function is decreasing. Intervals are (-5,-3) and (1,4).

Step3: Check slope for constant

If slope = 0, function is constant. There are no such intervals.

Answer:

Increasing: (-3,1), (4,6); Decreasing: (-5,-3), (1,4); Constant: None
