If increases in the interval T and decreases in the interval S, then which one of the following is correct ?
Consider the function
f(x) = 3x4 – 20x3 – 12x2 + 288x + 1
In which one of the following intervals is the function decreasing ?
( - 2, 3)
(3, 4)
(4, 6)
No
B.
(3, 4)
Given that f(x) = 3x4 – 20x3 – 12x2 + 288x + 1
Now, we have to differentiate f(x) w.r.t x
If f’(x) > 0 for particular value of x then f(x) is increasing
If f’(x) < 0 for particular value of x then f(x) is decreasing.
Here, we have to check the range of x for an increasing f(x)
Then f’(x) > 0
f’(x) = 12x3 - 60x2 - 24x +288
now, we will have to find the roots of the equation, but we know that it is a cubic polynomial hence, it is very difficult to find out the roots of a cubic polynomial
hence for paper point of view.
So, we will go through the option and we can clearly see that the options are allhave different range,
Not common to anyone, so we can assume a value from the given ranges in the option and check whether the f’(x) is greater or less than zero.Here we know that the function f(x) is increasing in (- 2, 3) hence, we have to check option B,
And we also knw that the f’(x) is having a curve with alternate positive and negative region,
Hence we can clearly say that the f’(x) < 0 in (3, 4).
So, option B is correct
Consider the function
f(x) = 3x4 – 20x3 – 12x2 + 288x + 1
