Solution
\[\text { A function f(x) is said to be increasing on } \left[ a, b \right] \text { if it is increasing at x = a and x = b } . \]
\[\text { Here, } \]
\[f\left( x \right) = x^2 - 6x + 3\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 2x - 6\]
\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = 2\left( x - 3 \right)\]
\[\text { Now, } f'\left( 4 \right) = 2\left( 4 - 3 \right)\]
\[ = 2\]
\[ \therefore f'\left( 4 \right) > 0 \]
\[\text { So, f(x) is increasing on x} = 4 \]
\[\text { &, }f'\left( 6 \right) = 2\left( 6 - 3 \right)\]
\[ = 6\]
\[ \therefore f'\left( 6 \right) > 0 \]
\[\text { So, f (x) is increasing on x } = 6 \]
\[\text { Hence,}f\left( x \right)\text { is increasing on } [4, 6].\]

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`
