		Decreasing FunctionA function   decreases on an Interval   if   for all  , where  .  Conversely, a function  increases on an Interval   if   for all   with  . 
 
 If the Derivative   of a Continuous Function   satisfies   on an Open Interval  ,then   is decreasing on  .  However, a function may decrease on an interval without having a derivative defined at allpoints.  For example, the function   is decreasing everywhere, including the origin  , despite the fact that theDerivative is not defined at that point.
