Question

the graph of a function is shown below
select the correct description.
a. sections a and e of the graph are linear and increasing.
b. section c of the graph is linear and decreasing.
c. sections b and d of the graph are nonlinear and decreasing.
d. section b of the graph is nonlinear and increasing.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option A: Section E is decreasing (as the graph goes down), so A is wrong.
• Analyze Option B: Section C is increasing (graph goes up), so B is wrong.
• Analyze Option C: Section B is increasing, not decreasing, so C is wrong.
• Analyze Option D: Section B is a curve (nonlinear) and the graph is going up (increasing), so D is correct.

Answer:

D. Section B of the graph is nonlinear and increasing
