Question

\\(-\infty < x < 1\\)
\\(-\infty < x < \infty\\)
\\(-\infty < x < 2\\)
\\(1 < x < \infty\\)

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

  • (A) \(-\infty < x < 1\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \(-\infty < x < \infty\)
  • (C) \(-\infty < x < 2\)
  • (D) \(1 < x < \infty\)
