\begin{gathered} A)\text{Increasing: (0,}\infty) \\ B)\text{decreasing: (-}\infty,0) \end{gathered}

c)there are not interval in which the function is constant

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

The interval is increasing if the value of the function f(x) increases with an increase in the value of x and it is decreasing if f(x) decreases with a decrease in x

so,let's check the graph

so, we can see the function is increasing starting at zero,so


\text{Increasing: (0,}\infty)

and

b) decreasing


\text{decreasing: (-}\infty,0)

when a function is constant , the graph is a horizontal line, we can't see any horizontal line in eh graph, so we can conclude

there are not intervals in which the function is constant

I hope this helps you
