Answer:
The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)
The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve it
- Decreasing function means a function with a graph that moves
downward as it is followed from left to right.
- For example, any line with a negative slope is decreasing function
- Lets look to the attached graph to understand the meaning of the
decreasing function
∵ f(x) = IxI ⇒ green graph
∵ g(x) = Ix + 1I - 7 ⇒ purple graph
- From the graph f(x) translated 1 unit to the left and 7 units down to
form g(x)
- The domains of f(x) and g(x) are all real numbers {x : x ∈ R}
- The range of f(x) is {y : y ≥ 0}
- The range of g(x) is {y : y ≥ -7}
# For f(x)
- The slope of the green line from (-∞ , 0) is negative
- The slope of the green line from (0 , ∞) is positive
# For g(x)
- The slope of the purple line from (-∞ , -1) is negative
- The slope of the purple line from (-1 , ∞) is positive
∵ The line with negative slope represent decreasing function
∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)
∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)
