Identify in which interval the function is decreasing?
Let's remember that the function increases when X values and Y values increase simultaneously.
Furthermore the function decreases when X values increase and Y values decrease simultaneously.
In the given graph, we notice that the function only increases, meaning it increases for all X. Therefore we can deduce that there is no domain of decrease.
No decreasing interval
Is the function in the graph decreasing?
Look for sections where the graph goes downward as you move from left to right. If the entire graph only goes up or stays level, there are no decreasing intervals.
A monotonic increasing function means it never decreases - it either goes up or stays flat. Even if it curves, as long as it doesn't go down, it's still increasing!
Absolutely! Curves don't mean decreasing. This graph curves upward like a smile, but it never goes down. The curve just shows it increases at different rates.
Because when you trace this graph from to , the function only goes up. There's literally no section where y-values decrease as x increases!
No! A flat (horizontal) section means the function is constant, not decreasing. For decreasing, you need the graph to actually go downward.
