The intervals are determined by when the derivative is positive or negative, because the derivative is the slope and a negative slope means the function is decreasing. The function y=(x/sqrt(x2))+1, however, can be rewritten as y=x/absolutevalue(x) + 1, and as such will be represented as a pair of parallel lines, y=0 for x<0 and y=2 for x>0. As the lines are horizontal, the function is never increasing or decreasing.

What is increasing and decreasing function?

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.


Why are the eons and eras not equal in length?

Geologists have divided Earth's history into a series of time intervals. These time intervals are not equal in length like the hours in a day. Instead the time intervals are variable in length. This is because geologic time is divided using significant events in the history of the Earth.


How can pressure change the density of solids liquids and gases?

Increasing pressure can compress the particles of a substance closer together, increasing the density of both solids and liquids. In gases, increasing pressure causes the gas particles to come closer together, decreasing the volume and increasing the density.


What is X2-4 divided by x2 plus 3x plus 2 continuous or discontinuous?

The numerator function x2 - 4 and the denominator function x2 + 3x + 2 are both continuous functions of x for the entire x-axis. However, the quotient of these two functions is not continuous when the denominator function has the value of 0, because division by zero is not defined. The denominator function is 0 when x = -1 or -2. Therefore, the quotient function is not fully continuous over any intervals that include -1 or -2, but it is "piecewise continuous" over other intervals of the x-axis.


What is meant by Divided consciousness?

The ability to be in two places at once. Examples of divided consciousness include watching a television show and playing a game on the computer or driving a car and having a conversation on your cell phone. You may also experience divided consciousness under hypnosis. Some people consider the technological age as increasing the amount of divided consciousness and decreasing face-to-face communication in our society.

What does the pressure on a surface depend on?

The pressure on a surface depends on the force applied perpendicular to the surface and the area over which the force is distributed. It is calculated as the force divided by the area. The pressure increases with increasing force or decreasing area.


What are the major time intervals represented by geologic time scale?

The Geologic Time Scale is divided up by four major intervals. In order from Largest to smallest: Eons are the largest time frame covering hundreds of millions of years. Eons are divided into smaller time intervals known as Eras. Eras are subdivided into Periods. Periods are broken into finer subdivisions known as Epochs.


What is the eighth grade definition for acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, either increasing or decreasing. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2) and can be calculated as the change in velocity divided by the change in time.
