Discussion the monotony of a function means identifying the intervals on which the
function is increasing, the intervals on which the function is decreasing, and the
intervals on which the function is constant
Example 17: Discuss the monotonicity of each of the functions represented by the
following graphs:
Fig.(1): the function is decreasing on the interval ]−∞, 0[ , increasing on the interval
]0,2[ and constant on the interval ]2,∞[
Fig (2): the function is increasing on the interval ]−∞, 0[ ,decreasing on the interval ]0,2[
, increasing on the interval ]2,3[ and constant on the interval ]3,∞[
Fig (3): the function is decreasing on each of the two intervals ]−∞, 0[ and ]0,∞[
