Determine whether the function described below is increasing, decreasing, or constant.
Each number is multiplied by the same number.
The function is:
Let's start with x equal to 0:
Now let's assume x is equal to 1:
Now let's assume x is equal to 2:
Now let's assume x is equal to minus 1:
Now let's assume x is equal to minus 2:
Let's plot all the points on the function graph:
We can see that we got a function that is both increasing and decreasing.
Increasing and decreasing
