Answer:

a) (-1, 2)

b) (-4, -1)

c) (2, 5)

Explanation:

a) "Increasing" means points to the right are higher. This is the case for points in the interval from x = -1 to x = 2. In interval notation, the function is increasing in (-1, 2).

__

b) "Decreasing" means points to the right are lower. This is the case for points in the interval from x = -4 to x = -1. In interval notation, the function is decreasing in (-4, -1).

__

c) "Constant" means points to the right have the same value. This is the case for points in the interval from x = 2 to x = 5 (or higher). In interval notation, the function is constant in (2, 5).
