Red line: x=0.65 x=0.65

111222333–1–1–1111000

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the domain of decrease of the function
00:03 A function is decreasing when X values increase and Y values decrease
00:07 It appears that the function is always decreasing
00:11 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Remember that a function is increasing if both the x x values and the y y values are increasing simultaneously.

A function is decreasing if the x x values are increasing while the y y values are decreasing simultaneously.

In the graph we can see that the function is decreasing in all domains. In other words, it is decreasing for all x x .

Answer

All values of x x
