Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = x^9 + 4 x^7 + 11\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 9 x^8 + 28 x^6 \geq 0, \forall x \in R \left[ \because x^8 {, x}^6 \geq0, \text { for } \forall x \in R \right]\]
\[\text {So, f(x) is increasing on R } .\]

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`
