Question

Consider the function F shown. Identify the intervals on which the function appears to be decreasing.A.) x < -1B.) x < 0C.) -1 < x < 1D.) x > 0E.) x > 1

Answer 1

A.) x < -1 and E.) x > 1

Explanation:

To find where function is decreasing, we need to look at the slope.

Where the slope is negative, it looks similar to this \ and the function decreases because the y values are decreasing as the x values increase.

The intervals where the slope is negative and looks like this \ is x < -1 and x > 1.
