Answer 1

Answer:

Increasing

−5<x<−1

−1<x<1

Decreasing

4<x<7

−8<x<−5

Neither Increasing nor Decreasing

1<x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Increasing : $-5$  or $-1$

Decreasing : $-8$  or $4$

Neither : $1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing function : In this function, the y-value increases as the x-value increases.

From the given graph it is clear that the function is increasing on  

$-5$

$-1$

Decreasing function : In this function, the y-value decreases as the x-value increases.

From the given graph it is clear that the function is decreasing on  

$-8$

$4$

Neither increasing nor decreasing function : In this function, the y-value remains constant as the x-value increases.

From the given graph it is clear that the function is neither increasing nor decreasing on  

$1$
