• The rate of change of item I is greater than the rate of change of item II.

• The rate of change of item I is equal to the rate of change of item II.

• The rate of change of item II is greater than the rate of change of item I.

Determine if the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

• Both functions are decreasing.

• The function in item I is increasing, and the function in item II is decreasing.

• The function in item I is decreasing, and the function in item II is increasing.

• Both functions are increasing.

Compare the initial values and rate of change of both functions.

• Both functions have the same initial value and rate of change.

• The functions have different initial values and different rates of change.

• The rates of change are the same, but the initial values differ.

• The initial values are the same, but the rates of change differ.
