As x > 0 increases, f(x) increases. As x < 0 decreases, f(x) decreases what happens

OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):

then f(x) is liner function.

See i drew a cubic function which has the same property as stated above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its usually a polynomial that is odd .. meaning it has symmetry around its origin and -f(x)=f(-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also the function must me be positive such as y=x Not y=-x So illustrate this for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1431881047401:dw| y=x --> positive function As you see as x increases then f(x) increases as x decreases then f(x) decreases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1431881135136:dw| y=-x --> negative function As x increases y decreases and as x decreases then y increases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO basically it needs to be a positive function and odd

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Not necessarily odd. \(x^3+3\) will still be a function satisfying the requirements.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats true so in that case we can just tweak it a bit and say the degree of the polynomial must be
