Solution
1 < x < 2
\[f\left( x \right) = 2 x^3 - 9 x^2 + 12x + 29\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 6 x^2 - 18x + 12\]
\[ = 6 \left( x^2 - 3x + 2 \right)\]
\[ = 6\left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right)\]
\[\text { For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6\left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \left[ \text { Since }6 > 0, 6\left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \Rightarrow \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right) < 0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 < x < 2\]
\[\text { So,f(x) is decreasing for }1 < x < 2 .\]

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
Case 1: (x – 1) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
∴ x < `square` and x > `square`
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`
