Analyzing the Setup

The functional equation provided is:
To solve for , we recognize the symmetry between and . By replacing with in the original equation, we generate a second equation:

The Master Equation

We now have a system of two linear equations with two variables, and . To isolate , we multiply the first equation by and the second equation by :
Subtracting the second resulting equation from the first yields:
Substituting this into the expression , we obtain:

The Calculus Transition

To determine where the function is strictly increasing, we must satisfy the condition . Differentiating the polynomial with respect to gives:
We set this derivative to be strictly positive:
Factoring the expression further, we get:

The Wavy Curve Method

We identify the critical points on the number line: , , and .
Applying the Wavy Curve method, we test the intervals. Starting from the rightmost interval with a positive sign and alternating signs across each critical point, we find the regions where the derivative is positive.
The function is strictly increasing on the intervals:
