Hw 6 Q1: "In general"

[emmdeegee]

Hi there,

Could I clarify the exact use of "in general", "increasing" and "decreasing" of Q1, please?

I don't want to discuss my exact answer, so I'll ask the question via another example, if that's OK: If I have a sequence

3,4,4,5,5

Does this sequence "In general, increase", or is there no trend?

(I'm asking for clarification of whether "increasing in general" is taken to exactly mean "always strictly increasing").

Thanks!
