Okay, only tag one person. It's considered as spam if you tag more than two people.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not if she is hot^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh, stop it. @OrthodoxMan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rules are rules. >_>

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so what do you think? any idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyways, what do you think? @AlexisPooBear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't worry I'll be the only one helping her now. You guys can have fun Anyway as c approaches + y should approach - That is how you know it is decreasing Find which one of those are.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

start with the first one increasing or decreasing

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

decreasing is coming from a biggest height to lowest so increasing is going from lower to highest i'm concerned about the height of the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i'm here i think its B and C

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

lets our function is f(x)=-x+1 the height of f when x=4 ==> f(4)=-3 the height of f when x=5 ==> f(5)=-4 so the height seems to decrease since -3>-4

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i said let's start with the first! is decreasing or not?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what do you say?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya decrease

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

okay! now let's try the second what do you think?!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry gtg

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

alright!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you asked in your first comment what does it mean for a function to be increasing or decreasing here the formal definition of that f is decreasing on the interval [a,b] if and only if a<b and f(a)>f(b) f is increasing on the interval [a,b] if and only if a<b and f(a)<f(b)
