The sign chart for the derivative p′(x) of a continuous function p is:
interval (−∞,−3)(−3,1)(1,6)(6,∞)
sign of p′+−−+
Based on this information, p is
a) increasing on (−3,1) and (1,6) only
b) increasing on (−∞,−3) and (6,∞) only
c) decreasing on (−3,1) and (6,∞) only
d) increasing on (−∞,−3) and (1,6) only
