Question
\\(-\infty < x < 1\\)
\\(-\infty < x < \infty\\)
\\(-\infty < x < 2\\)
\\(1 < x < \infty\\)
Identify the vertex of the parabola
The given graph is a downward-opening parabola. The peak or vertex of this parabola is located at the point \((1, 1)\).
Determine the interval where the function is increasing
A function is increasing where its graph rises from left to right. For this downward-opening parabola, the graph rises for all \(x\)-values to the left of the vertex's \(x\)-coordinate.
$$
x < 1 \implies -\infty < x < 1
$$
Match with the given options
The interval of increase is \(-\infty < x < 1\), which corresponds to the first option.
