Question

Find the intervals where the function y=f(x) who’s graph is given below, is increasing and where it is decreasing and find the vale of the absolute maximum

Answer 1

We know that the graph is increasing when an increment of the "x" value is also followed by the increment of the "y" value. This happens on the interval:

`(-\infty,0)`

The function decreases when an increasing value of "x" produces a decreasing value of "y". This happens on the interval:

`(0,\infty)`

The maximum value is the greatest value of y for this function. In this case, it is 2
