Question

Over which interval(s) is the function decreasing?A) -4 < x < 3B) -0.5 < x < ∞C) -∞ < x < -0.5D) -∞ < x < -4

Answer 1

In the interval where the function is decreasingcreasing, the input or x values increase as the output or y values decrease. Looking at the graph, moving from the left to the right, the values of x are increasing whie the values of y are decreasing. This trend continued till we got to x = 0.5. Thus, in the interval from negative infinity to x = - 0.5, the function was decreasing.

The correct option is C
