Answer:
- increasing: (-∞, 0)
- decreasing: (0, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function goes up to the right until it gets to the vertex at x=0. Then it goes down to the right. That is, it is ...
increasing from -∞ to 0 (not including 0)
decreasing from 0 to +∞ (not including 0)
_____
At x=0, the function is neither increasing nor decreasing, so x=0 is not part of either interval.
Double the first equation: 4x+14y=-2 and subtract the second: 17y=17, so y=1. 2x=-7y-1=-7-1=-8, so x=-8/2=-4.
The answer is x=-4 and y=1.
First, solve the inequality:

Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.
Thus your graph is

1+(4x) ??????????? I think so
