Ex 6.2, 5 Find the intervals in which the function f given by f (š„) = 2š„3 ā 3š„2 ā 36š„ + 7 is (a) strictly increasing (b) strictly decreasingf(š„) = 2š„3 ā 3š„2 ā 36š„ + 7 Calculating fā(š) fā(š„) = 6š„2 ā 6š„ ā 36 + 0 fā(š„) = 6 (š„2 ā š„ ā 6 ) fā(š„) = 6(š„^2 ā 3š„ + 2š„ ā 6) fā(š„) = 6(š„(š„ ā 3) + 2 (š„ ā 3)) fā(š) = 6(š ā 3) (š + 2) Putting fā(x) = 0 6(š„+2)(š„ ā3)=0 (š„+2)(š„ ā3)=0 So, x = ā2 and x = 3 Plotting points on number line Hence, f is strictly increasing in (āā ,āš) & (š ,ā) f is strictly decreasing in (āš, š)
