JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Applications of Derivatives Question Bank Increasing and Decreasing Function

  • question_answer
    The function \[f(x)={{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}-24x+5\] is an increasing function in the interval given below [MP PET 1998]

    A)            \[(-\infty ,\,-2)\cup (4,\infty )\]

    B)            \[(-2,\infty )\]

    C)             (?2, 4)

    D)            \[(-\infty ,\,4)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[f(x)={{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}-24x+5\]            For increasing, \[f'(x)>0\], \[3{{x}^{2}}-6x-24>0\]            Þ \[{{x}^{2}}-2x-8>0\]            \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+2x-8>0\] Þ \[(x+2)(x-4)>0\]                    \[x\in (-\infty ,\,-2)\cup (4,\infty )\].
