Sketch the graph of the following function. Indicate where the function is increasing or decreasing, where any relative extrema occur, where asymptotes occur, where the graph is concave up or concave down, where any points of inflection occur, and where any intercepts occur.
On what interval(s) is
A. The function is increasing on
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
B. The function is decreasing on
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
C. The function is increasing on
(Simplify your answers. Type your answers in interval notation. Type exact answers, using radicals as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
D. The function is never increasing or decreasing.
Step 1 :Given the function
Step 2 :Find the derivative of the function to determine where the function is increasing or decreasing. The derivative of the function is
Step 3 :The derivative of the function is always positive except at x=7 where it is undefined. This means the function is increasing for all x not equal to 7.
Step 4 :The function is never decreasing as there are no values of x for which the derivative is negative.
Step 5 :
