Question

the graph of a function is shown below. on which interval is the function increasing and linear? answer attempt 1 out of 3 $-9

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the function's behavior in each interval

• For \(-9 < x < -3\): The function is decreasing (not what we want).
• For \(-3 < x < 0\): The function is increasing and linear (as it has a constant slope).
• For \(0 < x < 4\): The function is increasing but not linear (it has a curved shape).
• For \(4 < x < 9\): The function is decreasing (not what we want).

Answer:

\(-3 < x < 0\)
