Ex 6.2, 8 Find the values of ๐ฅ for which y = [๐ฅ(๐ฅ โ 2)]2 is an increasing function ๐ฆ = [๐ฅ(๐ฅโ2)]^2 Finding ๐ ๐/๐ ๐ ๐ฆ = [๐ฅ(๐ฅโ2)]^2 ๐ฆ = [๐ฅ^2โ2๐ฅ]^2 ๐ฆ = (๐ฅ)^4+(2๐ฅ)^2โ2(๐ฅ^2 )(2๐ฅ) ๐ = ๐^๐+๐๐^๐โ๐๐^๐ Differentiating w.r.t ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=๐(๐ฅ^4 + 4๐ฅ^2 โ 4๐ฅ^3 )/๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ^3+8๐ฅโ12๐ฅ^2 ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ(๐ฅ^2+2โ3๐ฅ) ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ(๐ฅ^2โ3๐ฅ+2) ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ(๐ฅ^2โ2๐ฅโ๐ฅ+2) ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ(๐ฅ(๐ฅโ2)โ1(๐ฅโ2)) ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ((๐ฅโ1)(๐ฅโ2)) ๐๐ฆ/๐๐ฅ=4๐ฅ(๐ฅโ1)(๐ฅโ2) Putting ๐ ๐/๐ ๐=๐ 4๐ฅ(๐ฅโ1)(๐ฅโ2)=0 So, ๐ฅ=0 , ๐ฅ=1 & ๐ฅ=2 Plotting points on real line Thus, the function is strictly increasing for 0 <๐<๐ and ๐>๐
