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.

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`
