Increasing Interval- ANSWER If the output values consistently rise as the input
values do, then the function is increasing over its interval of its domain. That is,
if a < b, then f(a) < f(b) for every a and b in the interval.

Decreasing Interval - ANSWER If the output values consistently fall as the
input values rise, then the function is decreasing over the interval of its domain.
In other words, if a < b, then f(a) > f(b) for every a and b in the interval.

ANSWER is the relative minimum. At the included endpoint of a polynomial
with a constrained domain or where a polynomial function alternates between
decreasing and rising

Maximum relative value: ANSWER At the included endpoint of a polynomial
with a confined domain or where a polynomial function alternates between
increasing and decreasing

Absolute extrema - ANSWER The global, or absolute, maximum is the largest
of all local maxima. Similarly, the global, or absolute, minimum is the least of
all local minima.

Concave upward: ANSWER The function's graph is concave upward when the
average rate of change over equal-length input-value intervals is rising for all
small-length intervals.

Concave down: Response The function's graph is concave downward when the
average rate of change over equal-length input-value intervals is declining for
all small-length intervals.

ANSWER : Points of inflection are the input values at which the rate of change
of a polynomial function shifts from increasing to decreasing or from
decreasing to increasing. When a polynomial function's graph shifts from
concave up to concave down or from concave down to concave up, something
