By analyzing when the piecewise function increases and when it decreases, we can conclude that the true statement is:

"The function is increasing over the interval −8≤x≤−2."

Which statements are true?

We know that our function is made of straight lines that connect:

  • Point (-8, 3) with (-2, 8)   {This is an increasing line}
  • Point (-2, 8) with (2, 8)   {This is a horizontal line}
  • Point (3, 0), and (7, -7)   {This is a decreasing line}

(to see if it increases or decreases, compare the y-value of the second and first point. If the second is larger, then the line increases).

Then the statement that is true is:

3) "The function is increasing over the interval −8≤x≤−2."
