Question
Show that f(x) = tan−1 x − x is a decreasing function on R ?

Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = \tan^{- 1} x - x\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{1 + x^2} - 1\]
\[ = \frac{1 - 1 - x^2}{1 + x^2}\]
\[ = \frac{- x^2}{1 + x^2}\]
\[\text { We know,}\]
\[ x^2 \geq 0, 1+ x^2 >0, \forall x \in R\]
\[ \therefore \frac{- x^2}{1 + x^2} < 0, \forall x \in R\]
\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) < 0, \forall x \in R\]
\[\text { So,}f\left( x \right) \text { is decreasing on R }.\]

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`
