To increase something means to make it bigger, and to decrease something means to make it smaller. These are used often with numerical values (numbers), e.g. I increased (made bigger) 20 to 30. Here I am increasing by 10, etc.
It depends on the function.
Neither, by definition.
The slope of a linear function is also a measure of how fast the function is increasing or decreasing. The only difference is that the slope of a straight line remains the same throughout the domain of the line.
Points: (2, 3) and (-1, 6) Slope: -1 therefore it is decreasing
Consider the function y = an If a < -1 it oscillates between negative and positive values, with the oscillations increasing. If a = -1, it oscillates between -1 and 1. If -1 < a < 0 it oscillates between negative and positive values, with the oscillations deceasing. if 0 < a < 1, it is decreasing. If a = 1, it is 1 for all n If a > 1, it is increasing.

You take the derivative of the function, then solve the inequality:derivative > 0 for increasing, orderivative < 0 for decreasing.
A linear function is increasing if it has a positive slope. To find this easily, put the function into the form y=mx+b. If m is positive, the function is increasing. If m is negative, it is decreasing.
Assuming the function is linear, the direction of the function can be determined by the coefficient's sign:[y = mx + b]Where m is the coefficient of x, if m is negative, then the function is increasing. If m is positive, the function is decreasing (this relationship is rather complicated and requires advanced calculus to prove).
It shows whether, and how steeply, the terrain or function is increasing or decreasing.
waxing is growing and waning is decreasing
No. Although it is increasing most of the time, it is decreasing between x=-1 and x=1.
