Question
Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or decreasing:
6 − 9x − x2
Advertisements
Solution
f(x) = 6 - 9x - x2
f'(x) = - 9x - 2x = -(2x + 9)
f'(x) = 0 ⇒ (2x + 9) = 0 ⇒ x = - `9/2`
The point x = `- 9/2` divides the number line into two parts, intervals `(- oo, - 9/2)` and `(- 9/2, oo)`.
In the interval `(- oo, - 9/2)`, f'(x) = (-)(-) = + Positive
Hence, the function f is continuously increasing.
In the interval `(- 9/2, oo)`, f'(x) = (-)(+) = - Negative
Hence, the function f is continuously decreasing.

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

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`
