Answer:
Increasing: 
Decreasing: 
Step-by-step explanation:
So when an equation has and odd degree, it will go in the opposite direction on both ends, so if y went towards infinity as x went towards infinity, then y would go towards negative infinity as x goes towards negative infinity. In this case, by looking at the graph it has an odd degree, due to opposite end behaviors, although on both ends it's increasing because even though it appears that it's going down on the left side, that's only if you start from the right and go towards the left. So it's really increasing from negative infinity to -1, and then it decreases from -1 to 2, until it once again starts increasing from 2 to infinity. This can be represented as (-infinity, -1) U (2, infinity) for increasing and (-1, 2) as decreasing
The answer you are looking for is D. -5.
-5 is the answer because it's absolute value if positive 5, which has a higher value than the numbers in the answer choices.

Sid wrapped 8 gifts.
Look at the equation Sid wrote to caclulate the cost to wrap each gift. (6.80 + 7.35) / 8. 6.80 represents the total paid for wrapping paper. 7.35 represents the total amount paid for ribbon. Knowing that information, using the equation, and knowing who Sid wrapped gifts for, we can infer Sid wrapped gifts for 8 cousins.
