Question

Please help! can you explain it to me?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is increasing before x = -2 and from x = 0 to x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1 - you can see the line going down starting at -2 and that means the line is decreasing but the choice says "It is increasing before x = 0". This contradicts the actual graph.

Option 2 - The line isn't increasing before x= -1, it's actually decreasing as seen in the graph.

Option 3 - The line doesn't even touch the point before x = -3 so this choice makes no sense.

Option 4 - Since all the other choices were eliminated this is the only choice standing. Looking at the line it is increasing before x = -2.
