(b) strictly decreasing

Solution
We have:
`f(x) = 3x^4 − 4x^3 −12x^2 + 5`
`Now, f'(x) = 12x^3 − 12x^2 − 24x`
`Now, f'(x) = 0`
`⇒12x^3 −12x^2−24x = 0`
`⇒12x(x^2−x−2) = 0`
`⇒12x(x^2−2x+x−2)=0`
`⇒12x[x(x−2)+1(x−2)] = 0`
`⇒12x (x+1)(x−2)=0`
`⇒x=0 ; x = −1; x = 2`
So, the points x = −1, x = 0 and x = 2 divide the real line into four disjoint intervals, namely (−∞,−1), (−1,0), (0,2) and (2,∞).
| INTERVAL | SIGN OF f ' (x)=12x (x+1)(x −2) | NATURE OF FUNCTION |
| (−∞,−1) | (−)(−)(−)=−or<0 | Strictly decreasing |
| (−1,0) | (−)(+)(−)=+or>0 | Strictly increasing |
| (0,2) | (+)(+)(−) = − or<0 | Strictly decreasing |
| (2,∞) | (+)(+)(+) = + or >0 | Strictly increasing |
(a) The given function is strictly increasing in the intervals (−1,0) ∪ (2,∞).
(b) The given function is strictly decreasing in the intervals (−∞,−1) ∪ (0,2).

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`
