Question

the function $f(x)$ is graphed below. what is true about the graph on the interval from point $f$ to point $g$?
answer

• it is positive and increasing
• it is positive and decreasing
• it is negative and increasing
• it is negative and decreasing

Explanation:

1. First, check the y-values between points f and g: the graph is below the x-axis, so the function is negative here.
2. Next, observe the trend as x moves from f to g: the y-values move upward from the lowest point toward 0, meaning the function is increasing.
3. Match this observation to the given options.

Answer:

It is negative and increasing
