Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = a \left( x + \sin x \right) + a\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = a \left( 1 + \cos x \right)\]
\[\text { For }f(x)\text { to be increasing, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow a \left( 1 + \cos x \right) > 0 . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
\[\text { We know,}\]
\[ - 1 \leq \cos x \leq 1, \forall x \in R\]
\[ \Rightarrow 0 \leq \left( 1 + \cos x \right) \leq 2, \forall x \in R\]
\[\therefore a > 0 \left[ \text { From eq }. \left( 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow a \in \left( 0, \infty \right)\]

∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`
Since f(x) is decreasing function.
∴ f'(x) < 0
Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`
