Question
Let I be any interval disjoint from (−1, 1). Prove that the function f given by `f(x) = x + 1/x` is strictly increasing on I.

Solution
We have `f (x) = x + 1/x, x in I`
Differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
`f' (x) = 1 - 1/x^2 = (x^2 - 1)/x^2`
`x^2 > 0 (1, 1), x^2 - 1 > 0 = x^2 > 1`
= `x < - 1 or x > 1`
= `x in (-oo, -1) or x in (1, oo)`
= `x in (-oo, -1) cup (1, oo) `
= `x in R - (-1, 1)`
= f (x) is strictly increasing on I
(∵ I is an interval which is a subset of R - (-1, 1))

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

∴ x > `square` and x < `square`
1 < `square` < 2
