Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is [tex]f(x)=x+4[/tex]

for [tex]x_2>x_1[/tex], we will check the values of [tex]f(x_1)[/tex] and [tex]f(x_2)[/tex]

Take 3 and 4

[tex]f(4)=4+4\\f(4)=8[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]f(3)=3+4\\f(3)=7[/tex]

Thus, [tex]f(4)>f(3)[/tex]

Also, [tex]f'(x)[/tex] is 1 i.e. a constant value. So, the function is increasing linearly for the given interval.
