Finding increasing and decreasing intervals on a graph
Given the function
in
[link] , identify the intervals on which the function appears to be increasing.
We see that the function is not constant on any interval. The function is increasing where it slants upward as we move to the right and decreasing where it slants downward as we move to the right. The function appears to be increasing from
to
and from
on.
In
interval notation , we would say the function appears to be increasing on the interval (1,3) and the interval
Graph the function
Then use the graph to estimate the local extrema of the function and to determine the intervals on which the function is increasing.
Using technology, we find that the graph of the function looks like that in
[link] . It appears there is a low point, or local minimum, between
and
and a mirror-image high point, or local maximum, somewhere between
and
Graph the function
to estimate the local extrema of the function. Use these to determine the intervals on which the function is increasing and decreasing.
The local maximum appears to occur at
and the local minimum occurs at
The function is increasing on
and decreasing on
For the function
whose graph is shown in
[link] , find all local maxima and minima.
Observe the graph of
The graph attains a local maximum at
because it is the highest point in an open interval around
The local maximum is the
-coordinate at
which is
The graph attains a local minimum at
because it is the lowest point in an open interval around
The local minimum is the
y -coordinate at
which is
Analyzing the toolkit functions for increasing or decreasing intervals
We will now return to our toolkit functions and discuss their graphical behavior in
[link] ,
[link] , and
[link] .
Use a graph to locate the absolute maximum and absolute minimum
There is a difference between locating the highest and lowest points on a graph in a region around an open interval (locally) and locating the highest and lowest points on the graph for the entire domain. The
coordinates (output) at the highest and lowest points are called the
absolute maximum and
absolute minimum , respectively.
To locate absolute maxima and minima from a graph, we need to observe the graph to determine where the graph attains it highest and lowest points on the domain of the function. See
[link] .
Not every function has an absolute maximum or minimum value. The toolkit function
is one such function.

Finding absolute maxima and minima from a graph
For the function
shown in
[link] , find all absolute maxima and minima.
Observe the graph of
The graph attains an absolute maximum in two locations,
and
because at these locations, the graph attains its highest point on the domain of the function. The absolute maximum is the
y -coordinate at
and
which is
The graph attains an absolute minimum at
because it is the lowest point on the domain of the function’s graph. The absolute minimum is the
y -coordinate at
which is
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
