Solution Steps

00:06 Let's find where the function is increasing.
00:09 The function increases as both X and Y values go up together.
00:15 It continues to increase until we reach the purple line.
00:19 This area is the domain where our function increases.
00:24 And that's how we solve this problem!

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember that a function is described as increasing if both X values and Y values are increasing simultaneously.

A function is decreasing if X values are increasing while Y values are decreasing simultaneously.

In the graph, we can see that in the domain x < 0.6 the function is increasing, meaning the Y values are increasing.

Answer

x<0.6
