Solution
f(x) `= "x" - 1/"x", "x" in "R"`
`therefore "f"'("x") = 1 - (- 1/"x"^2) = 1 + 1/"x"^2`
`∵ "x" ne 0,` for all values of x, `"x"^2>0`
`therefore 1/"x"^2 > 0, 1 + 1/"x"^2` is always positive
thus f'(x)>o , for all x ∈ R
Hence f(x) is increasing function.

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`
