Answer:
If 
whenever 
f is <em>increasing</em> on I.
If 
whenever f is <em>decreasing</em> on I.
Step-by-step explanation:
These are definitions for real-valued functions f:I→R. To help you remember the definitions, you can interpret them in the following way:
When you choose any two numbers on I and compare their image under f, the following can happen.
- . Because x2 is bigger than x1, you can think of f also becoming bigger, that is, f is increasing. The bigger the number x2, the bigger f becomes.
- . The bigger the number x2, the smaller f becomes so f is "going down", that is, f is decreasing.
Note that this must hold for ALL choices of x1, x2. There exist many functions that are neither increasing nor decreasing, but usually some definition applies for continuous functions on a small enough interval I.
Step 1. Simplify 1/3x to x/3
-x/3 > 5
Step 2. Multiply both sides by 3
-x > 5 * 3
Step 3. Simplify 5 * 3 to 15
-x > 15
Step 4. Multiply both sides by -1
x < -15
Your answer is A.
