Answer

Yes

Work Step by Step

Yes. The graph of $g(x)=a(x-h)^5+k$ will always be strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. The increasing and decreasing of the graph is determined by the sign of $a$ because as $x$ values increases, the value of the leading term becomes more positive if increasing, and becomes more negative if decreasing.
