Question

source
image created for vva via desmos; 2024

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

Explanation:

Identify the vertex of the parabola

The graph shows a downward-opening parabola. The highest point (vertex) of this parabola is located at the coordinates \((1, 1)\).

Determine the interval where the function is increasing

A function is increasing on an interval if the \(y\)-values increase as the \(x\)-values increase from left to right. For this downward-opening parabola, the curve rises from left to right up to the \(x\)-coordinate of the vertex.

$$ x < 1 \implies -\infty < x < 1 $$

Match with the given options

The interval of increase is \(-\infty < x < 1\), which corresponds to the third option.

Answer:

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