Ex 6.2, 11 Prove that the function f given by f (š‘„) = š‘„^2 – š‘„ + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing on (– 1, 1).Given f(š‘„) = š‘„2 – š‘„ + 1 Finding f’(š’™) f’(š‘„) = 2š‘„ – 1 Putting f’(š’™) = 0 2š‘„ – 1 = 0 2š‘„ = 1 š‘„ = 1/2 Since š’™ ∈ (āˆ’šŸ , šŸ) So, our number line looks like Hence, f(x) is strictly decreasing for š‘„ ∈ (āˆ’1 , 1/2) & f(x) is strictly increasing for š‘„ ∈ (1/2, 1) Hence, f(š‘„) is neither decreasing nor increasing on (āˆ’šŸ , šŸ). Hence Proved
