Question
Find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 + 36x + 1 is increasing function
Advertisements
Solution
f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 + 36x + 1
∴ f'(x) = 6x2 – 30x + 36
= 6(x2 – 5x + 6)
= 6(x – 3)(x – 2)
f(x) is an increasing function, if f'(x) > 0
∴ 6(x – 3)(x – 2) > 0
∴ (x – 3) (x – 2) > 0
ab > 0 ⇔ a > 0 and b > 0 or a < 0 and b < 0
∴ Either (x – 3) > 0 and (x – 2) > 0
or
(x – 3) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
Case 1: x – 3 > 0 and x – 2 > 0
∴ x > 3 and x > 2
∴ x > 3
Case 2: x – 3 < 0 and x – 2 < 0
∴ x < 3 and x < 2
∴ x < 2
Thus, f(x) is an increasing function for x < 2 or x > 3 ,i.e., (– ∞, 2) ∪ (3, ∞)
