Question

the function f is graphed below. determine the intervals on which f increasing and decreasing. answer the function is on the interval < x < (segment 1), on the interval < x < (segment 2), and on the interval < x < (segment 3).

Explanation:

Step1: Observe graph for increasing

Check where graph rises.

Step2: Observe graph for decreasing

Check where graph falls.

Answer:

The function is increasing on the interval - 4 < x < - 2, decreasing on the interval - 2 < x < 2, and decreasing on the interval 2 < x < 7.
