Question
Prove that the function f given by f(x) = x2 − x + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing on (−1, 1).

Solution
f(x) = x2 - x + 1
f'(x) = 2x - 1
if, f'(x) = 0
2x - 1 = 0
x = `1/2`
x = `1/2` is divided into the intervals (-1, 1), `(-1, 1/2), (1/2, 1)`.
Hence, the function is neither increasing nor decreasing in (-1, 1).

∴ 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`
