Expert Solution
Step 1
  • when the graph is below the x-axis in an interval the graph is negative in that interval.
  • when the graph is above the x-axis in an interval the graph is positive in that interval.
  • when the slope of the graph is positive in an interval the graph is increasing in that interval.
  • when the slope of the graph is negative in an interval the graph is decreasing in that interval.
