Question
Show that the function given by f(x) = 3x + 17 is strictly increasing on R.
Advertisements
Solution
We have f(x) = 3x + 17
f(x) being a polynomial function, is continuous and derivable on R.
f'(x) `3 > 0, x in R`
⇒ f is strictly increasing on R.

∴ 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`
