Solution

Function f(x) = x3 − 27x + 5 is monotonically increasing when | x | > 3.

Explanation:

\[f\left( x \right) = x^3 - 27x + 5\]

\[f'\left( x \right) = 3 x^2 - 27\]

\[ = 3 \left( x^2 - 9 \right)\]

\[\text { For f(x) to be increasing, we must have }\]

\[f'\left( x \right) > 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3 \left( x^2 - 9 \right) > 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( x^2 - 9 \right) > 0 \left[ \text { Since } 3 > 0, 3 \left( x^2 - 9 \right) > 0 \Rightarrow \left( x^2 - 9 \right) > 0| \right]\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + 3 \right)\left( x - 3 \right) > 0\]

\[ \Rightarrow x < - 3 \ or \ x > 3\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left| x \right| > 3\]
