As x > 0 increases, f(x) increases. As x < 0 decreases, f(x) decreases what happens
then f(x) is liner function.

See i drew a cubic function which has the same property as stated above
Its usually a polynomial that is odd .. meaning it has symmetry around its origin and -f(x)=f(-x)
Also the function must me be positive such as y=x Not y=-x So illustrate this for you
|dw:1431881047401:dw| y=x --> positive function As you see as x increases then f(x) increases as x decreases then f(x) decreases
|dw:1431881135136:dw| y=-x --> negative function As x increases y decreases and as x decreases then y increases
SO basically it needs to be a positive function and odd
Not necessarily odd. \(x^3+3\) will still be a function satisfying the requirements.
Thats true so in that case we can just tweak it a bit and say the degree of the polynomial must be
