Find the values of x, for which the function f(x) = x3 + 12x2 + 36ЁЭСе + 6 is monotonically decreasing

Solution

f(x) = x3 + 12x2 + 36ЁЭСе + 6

∴ f′(x) = 3x2 + 24x + 36

= 3(x2 + 8x + 12)

= 3(x + 2)(x + 6)

f(x) is monotonically decreasing, if f′(x) < 0

∴ 3(x + 2)(x + 6) < 0

∴ (x + 2)(x + 6) < 0

ab < 0 ⇔ a > 0 and b < 0 or a < 0 and b > 0

∴ Either x + 2 > 0 and x + 6 < 0

or

x + 2 < 0 and x + 6 > 0

Case I: x + 2 > 0 and x + 6 < 0

∴ x > – 2 and x < – 6,

which is not possible.

Case II: x + 2 < 0 and x + 6 > 0

∴ x < – 2 and x > – 6

Thus, f(x) is monotonically decreasing for x ∈ (– 6, – 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`
