Solution
f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 16
∴ f'(x) = `"d"/"dx" ("x"^3 - "6x"^2 + "12x" - 16)`
= 3x2 – 6 × 2x + 12 × 1 – 0
= 3x2 – 12x + 12
= 3(x2 – 4x + 4)
= 3(x - 2)2 ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R
∴ f'(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R
∴ f is increasing for all x ∈ 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`
