b. decreasing
c. constant.
Fully explain the basis for each answer

9514 1404 393

  a) (-1, 2)

  b) (-4, -1)

  c) (2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) "Increasing" means points to the right are higher. This is the case for points in the interval from x = -1 to x = 2. In interval notation, the function is increasing in (-1, 2).

__

b) "Decreasing" means points to the right are lower. This is the case for points in the interval from x = -4 to x = -1. In interval notation, the function is decreasing in (-4, -1).

__

c) "Constant" means points to the right have the same value. This is the case for points in the interval from x = 2 to x = 5 (or higher). In interval notation, the function is constant in (2, 5).

Dear Mate,

your answer is

a = (-1, 2 )

b = (-4 , -1 )

c = (2, 5 )

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
