Consider the function shown.Where is the function decreasing?Enter your answer in the boxes.The function is decreasing from x =___ to x =___ .

Just by seeing the graph, we can see that the function is decreasing from

x = 1 , to x = 8

(In this section the function has negative slope, its rate of change is negative)
(From x = -5 to x = -2 the function is increasing)
(From x = -2 to x = 1 the function stays the same)
