  • 👉 Learn how to determine increasing/decreasing intervals. There are many ways in which we can determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing but we will focus on determining increasing/decreasing from the graph of the function. A function is increasing when the graph of the function rises from left to right and is decreasing when the graph of the function falls from left to right. A function is constant when the graph of the function neither rises or falls from left to right. i.e. the graph of a constant function is a horizontal line.

      @gregoryharlston0602 Před 2 lety +1

      Most students don't know what an interval is but it's really just a slice of the graph. Just like bread is cut into slices, graphs are cut into intervals--the slices are like intervals. We could slice the bread horizontally but we don't. We slice bread vertically. Similarly, we could slice functions horizontally but we've chosen to cut them vertically. We use the x-values to tell us the thickness of each slice.

Its been a complete nightmare. I've literally had to teach myself everything. This is so ridiculously simple, but without someone explaining it the way you did, it sounds way more complicated and overwhelming/terrifying. Thank you for making this so clear and concise.

      Might be late but from what I can gather. In my work it's asking for the intervals that y [or of f(x)] is increasing decreasing or constant. So it's asking from what x value to what x value is the function f (or y) changing. Or something along those lines I think

    You don't use brackets for x-values in the middle of the graph. At those points, the graph is changing - neither increasing nor decreasing.
    The only time you use brackets for intervals of increasing, decreasing, or constant is when you have a closed point at the end of the graph.
    Otherwise, it's a good explanation.
