the function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1
when x = 0, y = 2
when x = 1, y = 8
this shows an increase of +6, so we know this statement is true
we can see the rest are false simply because they state a decrease when there is an increase. this question is only confusing because we ask you about the increase and decrease in the function, when really its the same thing as asking about an increase or decrease in the y variable.
in other words, all youre looking for is the variation of the value of the y variable that is attached to the specific x variables.
hope this helps!!
A large city represents an area where people live closer together than they do in the countryside, or in small cities. Hence its population density is greater than the average for cities and rural areas combined.
The population density of Cleveland is greater than that of the state of Ohio.
