Solution
\[\text { When } \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)>0 \text { with }a < b, x < a \text { or }x>b.\]
\[\text { When } \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)<0 \text { with } a < b, a < x < b .\]
\[f\left( x \right) = 2 x^3 - 24x + 7\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 6 x^2 - 24\]
\[ = 6 \left( x^2 - 4 \right)\]
\[ = 6 \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right)\]
\[\text { For }f(x) \text { to be increasing, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6 \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \left[ \text { Since } 6 > 0, 6 \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \Rightarrow \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow x < - 2 \ or \ x > 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( - \infty , - 2 \right) \cup \left( 2, \infty \right)\]
\[\text { So },f(x)\text { is increasing on } x \in \left( - \infty , - 2 \right) \cup \left( 2, \infty \right).\]
\[\text { For }f(x) \text { to be decreasing, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6 \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \left[ \text { Since }6 > 0, 6 \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \Rightarrow \left( x + 2 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 2 < x < 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( - 2, 2 \right)\]
\[\text { So },f(x)\text { is decreasing on }x \in \left( - 2, 2 \right) .\]
