Question
### Graph Analysis in Calculus

**Objective:**
Examine the graph of the function \( f \) to determine:
- The largest open interval where \( f \) is increasing.
- The largest open interval where \( f \) is decreasing.

**Graph Description:**
- **Axes:** The graph is plotted in the Cartesian plane with the x-axis labeled from -4 to 8 and the y-axis from -4 to 6.
- **Function \( f \):** It appears as a continuous blue curve with notable features such as increasing and decreasing behavior and inflection points.

**Graph Features:**
- The function decreases from the far left, passes through a minimum at \( x \approx -1 \), then increases until \( x \approx 2 \).
- It declines sharply from \( x \approx 2 \) to \( x \approx 3 \).
- \( f \) increases again from \( x \approx 3 \) to \( x \approx 5 \).
- The function decreases steeply after \( x \approx 5 \), hitting a minimum, and then starts slightly increasing past \( x \approx 6 \).

**Exercises:**

(a) **Increasing Interval(s):**
Find the largest open interval(s) where the function \( f \) is increasing. If two intervals are equally large, list both separated by a comma.

**Answer Box:** [                    ]

(b) **Decreasing Interval(s):**
Find the largest open interval(s) where the function \( f \) is decreasing. If two intervals are equally large, list both separated by a comma.

**Answer Box:** [                    ]

Step 1

The open interval is represented using: (   ) and the closed interval is represented using:     .

A function is increasing in the interval: a, b, if f(a)<f(b) for a<b. A function is decreasing in the interval: a, b, if f(a)>f(b) for a<b.
