7. #92. Where is g ( x ) decreasing between -1 ≤ x ≤ 3 Doing this on the TI-Nspire, finding the zeros is quite easy. 1. Open up a G&G (Graphs & Geometry). This can be done using /I to insert a new page, or c2 2. Set up the window using the given domain. b4x , v1e3· 3. Graph the DERIVATIVE (to consider where it is negative) 4. Optional: Zoom Fit b4A (you could have already set the y-axis to be from about -1 to 1 since sine oscillates between that.) 5. On the TI-Nspire, the value of the intersection points between two graph are automatically given, so graph f2(x)=0 and press b63 /x to grab and move text to make it easy to see ( /G removes entry line)

Editor's Notes
From the graph we can see that f ‘ changes sign four times in the interval…. Answer is D
