Question
Show that f(x) = \[\frac{1}{1 + x^2}\] decreases in the interval [0, ∞) and increases in the interval (−∞, 0] ?
Solution
\[\text { Here }, \]
\[f\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{1 + x^2}\]
\[\text { Case 1: Let} \text{x}_1 , x_2 \in \left( 0, \infty \right) \text { such that } x_1 < x_2 . \text { Then },\]
\[ x_1 < x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow {x_1}^2 < {x_2}^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 + {x_1}^2 < 1 + {x_2}^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{1 + {x_1}^2} > \frac{1}{1 + {x_2}^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) > f\left( x_2 \right) \forall x_1 , x_2 \in \left( 0, \infty \right)\]
\[\text { So, }f\left( x \right) \text { is decreasing on }\left( 0, \infty \right).\]
\[\text { Case } 2: Let x_1 , x_2 \in ( - \infty , 0]\text { such that } x_1 < x_2 . \text { Then, }\]
\[ x_1 < x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow {x_1}^2 > {x_2}^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 + {x_1}^2 > 1 + {x_2}^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{1 + {x_1}^2} < \frac{1}{1 + {x_2}^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right), \forall x_1 , x_2 \in ( - \infty , 0]\]
\[\text { So, }f\left( x \right) \text { is increasing on } ( - \infty , 0].\]

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`
