Question

question
the function ( f(x) ) is graphed below. what is true about the graph on the interval from point ( h ) to point ( i )?
answer
it is positive and increasing
it is positive and decreasing
it is negative and increasing
it is negative and decreasing

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the sign of the function

On the interval from \(h\) to \(i\), the \(y -\) values (values of \(f(x)\)) are below the \(x -\) axis. So, \(f(x)<0\) on this interval, which means the function is negative.

Step2: Determine if the function is increasing or decreasing

As \(x\) increases from \(h\) to \(i\), the \(y -\) values (values of \(f(x)\)) are rising. A function \(y = f(x)\) is increasing if for \(x_1

Answer:

It is negative and increasing.
