Question
Determine whether f(x) = −x/2 + sin x is increasing or decreasing on (−π/3, π/3) ?
Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = \frac{- x}{2} + \sin x\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = \frac{- 1}{2} + \cos x\]
\[\text { Here, }\]
\[ \frac{- \pi}{3} < x < \frac{\pi}{3}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cos x > \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- 1}{2} + \cos x > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) > 0, \forall x \in \left( \frac{- \pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3} \right)\]
\[\text {So,f }\left( x \right) \text { is increasing on }\left( \frac{- \pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3} \right).\]

Find the value of x for which the function f(x)= 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2 is decreasing.
Given f(x) = 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2
∴ f'(x) = `squarex^2 - square + square`
∴ f'(x) = `6(x - 1)(square)`
Now f'(x) < 0
∴ 6(x – 1)(x – 2) < 0
Since ab < 0 ⇔a < 0 and b < 0 or a > 0 and b < 0
Case 1: (x – 1) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
∴ x < `square` and x > `square`
Which is contradiction
Case 2: x – 1 and x – 2 < 0
∴ x > `square` and x < `square`
1 < `square` < 2
f(x) is decreasing if and only if x ∈ `square`
