Answer:
Refer below
Step-by-step explanation:
A function is said to be increasing if y increases whenever x increases and y decreases whenever x decreases.
A function is decreasing if y increases when x decreases or vice versa.
Hence from the graph we find that when the curve is going up when we move to right the function is increasing otherwise decreasing.
f(x) attains its extreme values at x = -8, -3, 2 and 6
Left of -8 we find f(x) is increasing.
ie.(-infty, -8) increases, (-8,-3)decreases, (-3,2) increases, (2,6) decreases and (6,infty) increases
To consolidate increasing in (-infty, -8)U(-3,2)U(6,infty)
and decreses in (-8,-3)U(2,6)
