Sample: the first question, solved

For f(x)=x²−4, on which interval is the function increasing?

📘 Worked solution
The parabola opens upward with vertex at x=0, so the function is increasing for x>0.

And one from the hard end

For f(x)=−(x−1)²+6 (vertex at x=1, opens downward), describe where it is increasing and decreasing.
