Question

Determine the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, and constant. (3 points)

Answer 1

the answer is A

if it is increasing the  value must be more than -1 not less than but if it were decreasing then x would have to equal less then -1

Answer 2

Answer:

A)  increasing x > -1 ; decreasing x <-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the given graph to find the intervals where the function is increasing , decreasing and constant

We analyze the graph from the left

From the left the graph starts decreasing and it is decreasing till -1

From the point (-1,0) the graph changes direction and starts increasing

So we can say that the function is decreasing from -infinity to -1

and increasing from -1 to infinity

decreasing from -infinity to -1 means decreasing x <-1

increasing from -1 to infinity means increasing x > -1
