f(x)x-24-110011721151671911

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the domain of decrease of the function
00:03 The function decreases when X values increase and Y values decrease
00:07 From this point the function begins to increase
00:18 We'll deduce from this the domain of decrease
00:25 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember that the function increases when X values and Y values increase simultaneously.

On the other hand, the function decreases when X values increase and Y values decrease simultaneously.

According to the given value table, we can see that in the domain where x < 0 X values increase and Y values decrease simultaneously.

Therefore, the function decreases in the domain where

x < 0

Answer

x<0
