Answer:

f(x) is strictly monotonically decreasing in [-5 , 0]

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) will be

I )monotonically decreasing in an intervel (a ,b)

iff f'(x) ≤ 0 ∀ x ∈ ( a , b) [ when f(x) is derivable in (a,b)]

II) strictly monotonically decreasing in an intervel (a ,b)

iff f'(x) < 0 ∀ x ∈ ( a , b) [ when f(x) is derivable in (a,b)]

Here, although f(x) is not specified, but from the graph it is evident that f(x) is strictly monotonically decreasing in [-5 , 0]

1. x ∈ (a , b) means a < x <b

2. x ∈ [a, b) means a ≤ x < b

3. x ∈ (a , b] means a < x ≤ b

4. x ∈ [a , b] means a ≤ x ≤b

This is how interval notations are used.
