1)
in the interval (2,5) decreases and then increases , but We cant say that it is growing since it had a fall in the middle, so isnt increasing
2)
(-8,-2) (0,2) (5,10)
It is increasing because, from left to right, it comes from a low point to a higher point
3)
(-10,-8) (-2,0) (2,5)
It is decreasing because, from left to right, it comes from a high point to a lower point
4)
x=-2 and 2
are the highest values of the function
5)
x=-8, 0 and 5
are the lowest values of the function
6)
x=-5, 0 and 5
values where y = 0, therefore intersects the x axis
7)
y=0
values where x = 0, therefore intersects the y axis
