To determine whether the function is increasing, decreasing, or neither over the specified intervals, we need to analyze the behavior of the function within each interval:
1. -8 < x < -5: Observe if the function values are increasing or decreasing as x moves from -8 to -5.
2. -5 < x < -1: Check if the function is rising or falling during this interval.
3. -1 < x < 1: Determine if the function is continuously increasing, decreasing, or staying constant.
4. 1 < x < 4: Analyze the trend of the function again within this range.
5. 4 < x < 7: Lastly, check if the function is increasing, decreasing, or neither here.
You would generally look at the slopes or the derivative of the function (if available) within these intervals to make your assessment. However, without the specific function or graph, I can’t provide the exact classifications for these intervals.
Please check the graph of the function or the values it achieves to categorize each interval correctly. This approach can help you visualize where the function is increasing, decreasing, or stationary. If you need extra help, feel free to ask!
