Ex 6.2, 6 Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or decreasing: (c) â2đĽ3 â 9đĽ2 â 12đĽ + 1 f(đĽ) = â2đĽ3 â 9đĽ2 â 12đĽ + 1 Calculating fâ(đ) fâ(đĽ) = â6đĽ2 â18đĽ â 12 + 0 fâ(đĽ) = â6(đĽ2+3đĽ+2) fâ(đĽ) = â6(đĽ2+2đĽ+đĽ+2) fâ(đĽ) = â6(đĽ(đĽ+2)+1(đĽ+2)) fâ(đ) = â6(đ+đ) (đ+đ) Putting fâ(đ) = 0 â 6(đĽ+1) (đĽ+2) = 0 (đĽ+1) (đĽ+2) = 0 So, đĽ = â1 , â2 Plotting points on number line Hence, f is strictly increasing for â2 < đ < â1 & strictly decreasing for đ < â2 & đ > â1 Hence, f is strictly increasing for â2 < đ < â1 & strictly decreasing for đ < â2 & đ > â1
