Question
Prove that the function f given by f(x) = x3 − 3x2 + 4x is strictly increasing on R ?
Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = x^3 - 3 x^2 + 4x\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = 3 x^2 - 6x + 4\]
\[ = 3\left( x^2 - 2x \right) + 4\]
\[ = 3\left( x^2 - 2x + 1 \right) - 3 + 4\]
\[ = 3 \left( x - 1 \right)^2 + 1 > 0, \forall x \in R\]
\[\text { Hence , f(x) is strictly increasing on R } .\]

Solution: f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`
Since f(x) is decreasing function.
∴ f'(x) < 0
Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`
