Find the interval(s) over which the function is increasing

Answer : (-∞,-1) U  (-1, 1)

We need to find  the interval(s) over which the function is increasing

We look at the intervals of x  where the graph is increasing

Increasing interval of the graph is the part where the graph goes up.

At first  the graph starts increasing and it increases till x=-1

So the first increasing interval is -infinity to -1 . We write it as (-∞,1)

Now, we look at the part where the graph changes direction

In the middle  inverted U shaped graph , the graph starts increasing at x=-1  and increases till it changes direction. The graph is increasing till x=1

so second increasing interval is x=-1  to 1. we write it as (-1,1)

Now combine both intervals by a 'U' union

(-∞,-1) U  (-1, 1)

step-by-step explanation:

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
