Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

For increasing function in the interval (a, b),

"If we draw a tangent at any point on the graph in the given interval (a, b), slope of the tangent drawn will be positive"

Given function is,

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2+5x+6$

In the interval (-∞, -5),

Graph is moving downwards therefore, tangents drawn at any point will have a negative slope and the function will decrease in this interval.

In the interval (-5, ∞),

In the given interval any tangent drawn at any point will have a positive slope and the function will be increasing.

Therefore, interval in which the function is increasing → (-5, ∞)

Option B is the answer.

Answer 2

The interval in which the function decreases is (-∞, -5).

In which interval the function decreases?

The function decreases when, reading from left to right, the graph of the function goes downwards.

By looking at the graph, we can see that the graph goes downwards on the interval negative infinity and -5

Then we conclude that the function decreases on the interval (-∞, -5).
