Understanding Graph Behavior and Intervals

The video tutorial explains how to determine the increasing and decreasing intervals of two functions, f(x) and g(x), using their graphs. It introduces the concept of reading graphs from left to right, identifying the vertex as the point where the graph changes direction, and using interval notation to describe these intervals. The tutorial provides a step-by-step analysis of both functions, highlighting where each function is increasing or decreasing.

What is the primary focus of the two graphs discussed in the video?

• Understanding increasing and decreasing intervals

• Determining the slope

• Identifying the maximum points

• Calculating the area under the curve

How do we read graphs to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing?
