Points: (2, 3) and (-1, 6)
Slope: -1 therefore it is decreasing
if a function is increasing, the average change of rate between any two points must be positive.
There are many families of functions or function types that have both increasing and decreasing intervals. One example is the parabolic functions (and functions of even powers), such as f(x)=x^2 or f(x)=x^4. Namely, f(x) = x^n, where n is an element of even natural numbers. If we let f(x) = x^2, then f'(x)=2x, which is < 0 (i.e. f(x) is decreasing) when x<0, and f'(x) > 0 (i.e. f(x) is increasing), when x > 0. Another example are trigonometric functions, such as f(x) = sin(x). Finding the derivative (i.e. f'(x) = cos(x)) and critical points will show this.
Well, honey, if you're looking for a function that passes through the points (2, 15) and (3, 26), you're talking about a linear function. The slope of this function would be 11 (rise of 11 over run of 1), so the equation would be y = 11x + b. To find the y-intercept, plug in one of the points, let's say (2, 15), and solve for b. So, the function that passes through those points is y = 11x + 4.
The fixed points of a function f(x) are the points where f(x)= x.
For example, if the slope at a certain point is 1.5, you can draw a line that goes through the specified point, with that slope. The line would represent the slope at that point. If you want to graph the slope at ALL POINTS, take the derivative of the function, and graph the derivative. The derivative shows the slope of a function at all points.
Turning points are the points at which a graph changes direction from increasing o decreasing or decreasing to increasing.
Overall "on average" it will increase between those points (as the y value of the greater x valued point is greater than the y of the lesser x valued point), but it could be a curve that has sections that increase and other sections that decrease.
if a function is increasing, the average change of rate between any two points must be positive.
The amplitude of a sine wave is increasing at its fastest rate at the maximum points (90°, 270°) and decreasing at its fastest rate at the minimum points (0°, 180°).
f(x)=(x^2)(e^x) 1. Domain? 2. Symmetry? 3. Intercepts? 4. Asymptotes? 5. Increasing/Decreasing? 6. Relative Extrema? 7. Concave Up/Down? 8. Points Of Inflection? 9. Any Discontinuity? So confused! The e throws me off!
They mean the graph/function is decreasing.
When the potential is decreasing, the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential.

It is the description of a slope of a line which connects from many points you mark to show a way that your graph data may increase or decrease. If it is decreasing, you have a downwards trend. If it is increasing, you have an upwards trend.

The "vertical line test" will tell you if it is a function or not. The graph is not a function if it is possible to draw a vertical line through two points.
Increasing pressure generally increases the melting and boiling points of a substance. This is because pressure forces molecules to be packed closer together, making it harder for them to break free from each other in the solid or liquid phase. Conversely, decreasing pressure lowers the melting and boiling points.
