Increasing Decreasing Functions Intervals

What are the intervals on which f(x) = 2x⁴- 4x² + 1 is strictly increasing?

• (-1,0)

• (0,1)

• (-∞,-1) and (1,∞)

• (-1,0) and (1, ∞)

If given f'(x) how would you find the intervals which the graph f(x) has a positive slope?

• f'(x) < 0 (negative)

• f'(x) > 0 (positive)

• f'(x) is increasing

• Can't be determined

What do we know about the slope for increasing functions?

• The slope is positive

• The slope is negative
