What does it mean for a function to be increasing on an interval?

• The function's y values are increasing

• The function's y values are constant

• The function's x values are decreasing

In interval notation, how would you represent a function that is decreasing from x = -6 to x = -4?

• [-6, -4)

• [-6, -4]

• (-6, -4)

• (-6, -4]

What is a local maximum on a graph?

• A point where the function's value is the highest in its vicinity

• A point where the function's value is constant

• A point where the function's value is the lowest in its vicinity

• A point where the function's value is undefined

Where does a local minimum occur on a graph?

• At a valley

• At a peak

• At the origin

• At a point of inflection

What is the interval on which the function is increasing if it goes up from x = -2 to x = 0?

• (-2, 0)

• (-2, 2)

• (0, 2)

• (-2, -1)
