Question

Determine the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, and constant
Increasing on x > - 1; Decreasing on x < - 1

Increasing on x < - 1; Decreasing on x > - 1

Increasing on x < - 1; Decreasing on x < - 1

Increasing on x > - 1; Decreasing on x > - 1

Answer 1

Increasing function will have a positive slope and decreasing function will have a negative slope. So look at the graph and see which part of the function has positive and which has a negative slope and write those intervals

Answer 2

so its the second one?

Answer 3

Yes
