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`
