Ex 6.2,14 Find the least value of a such that the function f given by 𝑓 (𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 𝑎𝑥 + 1 is strictly increasing on (1, 2). We have f﷐𝑥﷯ = 𝑥2 + a𝑥 + 1 Given f is strictly increasing on ﷐1 ,2﷯ ⇒ f’﷐𝑥﷯ > 0 on ﷐1 ,2﷯ f’﷐𝑥﷯ = 𝑥2 + a𝑥 + 1 f’﷐𝑥﷯ = 2𝑥 + a. Thus, 2𝑥 + a > 0 on ﷐1 ,2﷯ ∴ When a > –2 , f﷐𝑥﷯ = 𝑥2 + a𝑥 + 1 is strictly increasing on ﷐𝟏 , 𝟐﷯ Hence, least value of a is –2
