Examine the following piecewise function.


A graph formed of straight line segments between the following points: (negative 8, 3), (negative 2, 8), (2, 8), (3, 0), and (7, negative 7).

By analyzing when the piecewise function increases and when it decreases, we can conclude that the true statement is:

"The function is increasing over the interval −8≤x≤−2."

Which statements are true?

We know that our function is made of straight lines that connect:

  • Point (-8, 3) with (-2, 8)   {This is an increasing line}
  • Point (-2, 8) with (2, 8)   {This is a horizontal line}
  • Point (3, 0), and (7, -7)   {This is a decreasing line}

(to see if it increases or decreases, compare the y-value of the second and first point. If the second is larger, then the line increases).

Then the statement that is true is:

3) "The function is increasing over the interval −8≤x≤−2."
