Question
Graph each function. Determine the largest open intervals of the domain over which each function is ( $a$ ) increasing or ( $b$ ) decreasing. $$f(x)=\frac{1}{4} x^{6}$$
Step 1
The derivative of a function tells us the slope of the function at any point, which can help us determine where the function is increasing or decreasing. The derivative of $f(x)$ is given by $f'(x)=\frac{3}{2} x^{5}$. Show more…
