Solution
\[\text { When } \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)>0 \text { with }a < b, x < a \text { or }x>b.\]
\[\text { When } \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)<0 \text { with } a < b, a < x < b .\]
\[f\left( x \right) = x^4 - 4 x^3 + 4 x^2 + 15\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 4 x^3 - 12 x^2 + 8x\]
\[ = 4x \left( x^2 - 3x + 2 \right)\]
\[ = 4x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right)\]
\[\text { Here, 0, 1 and 2 are the critical points }.\]
\[\text { The possible intervals are }\left( - \infty , 0 \right),\left( 0, 1 \right),\left( 1, 2 \right)\text { and }\left( 2, \infty \right). ...(1)\]
\[\text { For f(x) to be increasing, we must have}\]
\[f'\left( x \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \left[ \text { Since } 4 > 0, 4x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \Rightarrow x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( 0, 1 \right) \cup \left( 2, \infty \right) \left[ \text { From eq }. (1) \right]\]
\[\text { So },f(x)\text { is increasing on x } \in \left( 0, 1 \right) \cup \left( 2, \infty \right) . \]
\[\text { For }f(x) \text { to be decreasing, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \left[ \text { Since } 4 > 0, 4x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \Rightarrow x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( - \infty , 0 \right) \cup \left( 1, 2 \right) \left[ \text { From eq. } (1) \right]\]
\[\text { So,}f(x)\text { is decreasing on x } \in \left( - \infty , 0 \right) \cup \left( 1, 2 \right) .\]

By completing the following activity, find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7 is decreasing function.
Solution: f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7
∴ 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`
