Question

In which domain is the function increasing?

f(x)x-57-1.58-110014215343.5250

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the domain of increase of the function
00:03 The function increases when X and Y values increase simultaneously
00:09 From this point the function starts to decrease
00:18 We can deduce from this the domain of increase
00:22 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 < 2 the X values and Y values increase simultaneously.

Therefore, the function increases in the domain where

x < 2

Answer

x<2
