Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows the graph of , the derivative of a function , and the task is to determine whether is increasing or decreasing for certain intervals based on the sign of .
To do this, we need to recall that:
- When , the function is increasing.
- When , the function is decreasing.
Let's break down the intervals:
-
Interval :
Look at the graph of in this region. If , then is increasing; if , then is decreasing. -
Interval :
Same logic. Analyze the sign of between and . -
Interval :
Similarly, observe whether is positive or negative here. -
Interval :
Analyze the sign of in this interval. -
Interval :
Finally, look at the graph in this region to see if is above or below the x-axis.
Let me know if you need a more detailed breakdown for each interval or if you'd like help with filling in the specific values.
