Identify intervals on which the function is (a) increasing, (b) decreasing, and (c) constant. In each case, assume that the domain of the function is (-∞, ∞) and that any characteristics of the graph continue as indicated.

1) In this question, we need to remind ourselves of the definition of an increasing or decreasing interval.

2) When the function is increasing we have:

[tex]x_2>x_1,f(x_2)>f(x_1)[/tex]

On the other hand, a given interval of a function is decreasing when:

[tex]x_2>x_1,f(x_2)3) Examining the graph we see two intervals:[tex]\begin{gathered} (-\infty,1\rbrack \\ (1,\infty) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that for the first interval the more the f(x) values increase the x values decrease.

So,

[tex]\begin{gathered} (-\infty,1\rbrack,decreasing \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

And on the other hand, the more the x values increase the more the f(x) values increase, so:

[tex](1,\infty)increasing[/tex]
