2.1 Increasing, Decreasing, and Piecewise
Functions; Applications
Graph functions, looking for intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant, and estimate relative maxima and minima.
Given an application, find a function that models the application; find the domain of the function and function values, and then graph the function.
Graph functions defined piecewise.

Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Functions
On a given interval, if the graph of a function rises from left to right, it is said to be increasing on that interval. If the graph drops from left to right, it is said to be decreasing.
If the function values stay the same from left to right, the function is said to be constant.

Definitions
A function f is said to be increasing on an open interval I, if for all a and b in that interval,
a < b implies f(a) < f(b).

A function f is said to be decreasing on an open interval I, if for all a and b in that interval,
a < b implies f(a) > f(b).

A function f is said to be
constant on an open interval I,
if for all a and b in that interval, f(a) = f(b).

Relative Maximum and Minimum Values
Suppose that f is a function for which f(c) exists for some c in the domain of f. Then:
f(c) is a relative maximum if there exists an open interval I containing c such that f(c) > f(x), for all x in I where x c; and
f(c) is a relative minimum if there exists an open interval I containing c such that f(c) < f(x), for all x in I where x c.

Applications of Functions Many real-world situations can be modeled by functions.
ExampleA man plans to enclose a rectangular area using 80 yards of fencing. If the area is w yards wide, express the enclosed area as a function of w.
SolutionWe want area as a function of w. Since the area is rectangular, we have A = lw. We know that the perimeter, 2 lengths and 2 widths, is 80 yds, so we have 40 yds for one length and one width. If the width is w, then the length, l, can be given by l = 40 – w.
Now A(w) = (40 – w)w = 40w – w2.

Some functions are defined piecewise using different output formulas for different parts of the domain.
Since –3 0, use f (x) = x2: f (–3) = (–3)2 = 9.
Since 0 < 1 2, use f (x) = 4: f (1) = 4.
Since 5 > 2 use f (x) = x – 1: f (5) = 5 – 1 = 4.

c) We graph f(x) = only for inputs x greater than 2.
Functions Defined PiecewiseGraph the function defined as:
a) We graph f(x) = 3 only for inputs x less than or equal to 0.
b) We graph f(x) = 3 + x2 only for inputs x greater than 0 and less than or equal to 2.
