Answer:

The function is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x is the parent function, when you make x negative it decreases rather than increasing. the use of the slope (1/2) doesn't change whether it it increasing or decreasing. as long as the negative sign is in front, it will decrease.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Yes it is true:

(1 - cos^2 x) = sin^2 x Sqr.(1 - cos^2 x) = sin x and (-sinx) True, since sin x negative. Also, x terminates in quadrant 3 and 4. Hope this is helpful
