well, let's take a look at the table
is g(x) increasing from -2 to -1? hmmm from when x = -2 g(x) = 2, then when x = -1, g(x) = -3, hold the mayo!! it went from 2 to -3, that's just going down, so, nope is not.
is itdecreasing from -1 to 0? hmmm x = -1, g(x) = -3, as x = 0, g(x) = 2, wait a second!!! it went from -3 to 2, it really went up, so nope, is not decreasing on that interval.
is it increasing from 0 to 1? let's see, as x = 0, g(x) = 2, as x = 1, g(x) = 17, woahhh!!, it went from 2 and rocketted to 17, yeap, it is increasing as x = 0 to x = 1.
