    \[2{{x}^{3}}-6x+5\]is an increasing function, if:

    A) \[0<x<1\]                           

    B) \[-1<x<1\]

    C)  \[x<-1\]or\[x>1\]           

    D) \[-1<x<-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: For increasing function,\[f'(x)>0\]and decreasing function,\[f'(x)<0\]. Let          \[f(x)=2{{x}^{3}}-6x+5\] On differentiating, we get                 \[f'(x)=6{{x}^{2}}-6\] For increasing function,\[f'(x)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6{{x}^{2}}-6>0\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}>1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x<-1\]or\[x>1\] Note: (i) For increasing function, if                 \[{{x}_{1}}>{{x}_{2}}\]or\[{{x}_{1}}<{{x}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f({{x}_{1}})>f({{x}_{2}})\]or\[f({{x}_{1}})<f({{x}_{2}})\] (ii) For decreasing function, if                 \[{{x}_{1}}>{{x}_{2}}\]or\[{{x}_{1}}<{{x}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f({{x}_{1}})<f({{x}_{2}})\]or\[f({{x}_{1}})>f({{x}_{2}})\]
