Solution
y = `x^4 – (4x^3)/3`
⇒ `"dy"/"dx"` = 4x3 – 4x2
= 4x2(x – 1)
Now, `"dy"/"dx"` = 0
⇒ x = 0, x = 1.
Since f′(x) < 0 ∀ ∈x `(- oo, 0)` ∪ (0, 1) and f is continuous in `(- oo, 0]` and [0, 1].
Therefore f is decreasing in `(- oo, 1]` and f is increasing in `[1, oo)`.
Note: Here f is strictly decreasing in `(- oo, 0)` ∪ (0, 1) and is strictly increasing in `(1, oo)`.

Find the value of x for which the function f(x)= 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2 is decreasing.
Given f(x) = 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2
∴ f'(x) = `squarex^2 - square + square`
∴ f'(x) = `6(x - 1)(square)`
Now f'(x) < 0
∴ 6(x – 1)(x – 2) < 0
Since ab < 0 ⇔a < 0 and b < 0 or a > 0 and b < 0
Case 1: (x – 1) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
∴ x < `square` and x > `square`
Which is contradiction
Case 2: x – 1 and x – 2 < 0
∴ x > `square` and x < `square`
1 < `square` < 2
f(x) is decreasing if and only if x ∈ `square`
