Question

Identify the general shape and direction of this graph of this function on the interval (1, infinity)

Answer 1

Since the given interval is from 1 to infinity or (1, ∞) then we will be using the second function in the piecewise function which is:

`s(x)=-(1)/(5)x`

because the condition for this function is x > 1.

Since this function is linear and has a negative slope, then the general shape and direction of this function are shown in the graph below.
