Worksheet - Increasing and Decreasing Functions

This document contains 8 questions about determining if functions are increasing or decreasing over certain intervals based on their derivatives. Question 1 asks to show that 8 functions are strictly increasing for all real values of x. Question 2 finds the intervals over which various functions are increasing or decreasing. Question 3 determines when a specific function is increasing or decreasing and finds points where its tangent is parallel to the x-axis. The remaining questions ask to show that specific functions are decreasing over given intervals.
