Explain how the first derivative of a function determines where the function is increasing and decreasing.
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. Suppose f is continuous on an interval I and differentiable at all interior points of I. If f'(x) >0 for all x in I, then f is increasing or decreasing on I.
O B. Suppose fis continuous on an interval I and differentiable at all interior points of I. If f'(x) <0 for all x in I, then f is increasing on I. If f'(x) > 0 for all x in I, then f is decreasing on I.
C. Supposef is continuous on an interval I and differentiable at all interior points of I. If f'(x) <0 for all x in I, then f is increasing or decreasing on I.
O D. Suppose f is continuous on an interval I and differentiable at all interior points of I. If f'(x) >0 for all x in I, then f is increasing on I. If f'(x) <0 for all x in I, then fis decreasing on I.
