Question

Determine the interval(s) on which the given function is decreasing.

Polynomial going up from the left and passing through the point negative 1 comma 0 and going to a relative maximum at the point 0 comma 5 and then going down to a relative minimum at the point 1 comma 4 and then going up to the right



(–∞, –1) ∪ (1, ∞)

(–1, ∞)

(–∞, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)

(0, 1)

Answer 1

(d) (0, 1)

Explanation:

The function is "decreasing" where it is "going down."

Your problem statement describes the decreasing interval as being between the relative maximum at (0, 5) and the relative minimum at (1, 4).

The interval of decrease is (0, 1).
