2.1 Increasing, Decreasing, and Piecewise Functions; Applications
Graph functions, looking for intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant, and estimate relative maxima and minima.
Given an application, find a function that models the application. Find the domain of the function and function values.
Graph functions defined piecewise.
Because functions occur in so many real-world situations, it is important to be able to analyze them carefully.
Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Functions
On a given interval, if the graph of a function rises from left to right, it is said to be increasing on that interval. If the graph drops from left to right, it is said to be decreasing. If the function values stay the same on ...
