Example 7 from Algebra and Trigonometry, 3.3 Rates of Change and Behavior of Graphs
Given the function in Figure 6, identify the intervals on which the function appears to be increasing.
Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.
We see that the function is not constant on any interval. The function is increasing where it slants upward as we move to the right and decreasing where it slants downward as we move to the right. The function appears to be increasing from to and from on.
In interval notation, we would say the function appears to be increasing on the interval (1,3) and the interval
How did it go?
