Ex 6.2, 11 Prove that the function f given by f (š„) = š„^2 ā š„ + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing on (ā 1, 1).Given f(š„) = š„2 ā š„ + 1 Finding fā(š) fā(š„) = 2š„ ā 1 Putting fā(š) = 0 2š„ ā 1 = 0 2š„ = 1 š„ = 1/2 Since š ā (āš , š) So, our number line looks like Hence, f(x) is strictly decreasing for š„ ā (ā1 , 1/2) & f(x) is strictly increasing for š„ ā (1/2, 1) Hence, f(š„) is neither decreasing nor increasing on (āš , š). Hence Proved
