Question
Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or decreasing:
(x + 1)3 (x − 3)3
Advertisements
Solution
f(x) (x + 1)3 (x - 3)3
f'(x) = 3(x + 1)2 (x - 3)3 + (x + 1)3 (3 (x - 3)2)
= 6(x + 1)2 (x - 3)2 (x - 1)
f'(x) = 6(x + 1)2 (x - 3)2 (x - 1)
if, f'(x) = 0
6(x + 1)2 (x - 3)2 (x - 1) = 0
x = -1, 1, 3
x = -1, x = 1, x = 3 splits the real line into intervals `(- infty, -1), (-1, 1), (1,3)` and `(3, infty)`.
The function f is decreasing on the interval `(-infty, -1)`.

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`
