Increasing and Decreasing Function

Here you will learn what are increasing and decreasing function with examples. Let’s begin – Increasing and Decreasing Function Strictly Increasing Function A function f(x) is said to be a strictly increasing function on (a, b), if \(x_1\) < \(x_2\) \(\implies\) \(f(x_1)\) < \(f(x_2)\) for all \(x_1\), \(x_2\) \(\in\) (a, b) Thus, f(x) is strictly …
