<h3>Answers:</h3>
- (a) The function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
- (b) The function is decreasing on the interval (-infinity, 0)
=======================================================
Explanation:
You should find that the derivative is entirely negative whenever x < 0. This suggests that the function f(x) is decreasing on this interval. So that takes care of part (b).
The interval x < 0 is the same as -infinity < x < 0 which then translates to the interval notation (-infinity, 0)
Similarly, you should find that the derivative is positive when x > 0. So the function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
You are right as rain. You go to the x axis.
Find x = 3.5
f(3.5) is the y value of x = 3.5
f(3.5) = 2
It might help you a bit if you wrote it as a point (3.5,2)
