The function is increasing on the interval 11ec1854_fdad_3888_acfc_41f7dd3c7cac_TBX8702_11 and decreasing on the interval 11ec1854_fdad_3889_acfc_03c65782e387_TBX8702_11. This can be determined by finding the critical points of the function (where the derivative is 0 or undefined) and testing the intervals on either side of them for increasing or decreasing behavior.
