Options
- Adecreasing in [ - 2 , 2 ]
- Bdecreasing in [0, 2 ]
- Cincreasing in ( , 3 2 )
- Ddecreasing in ( 2 , )
Correct answer
D. decreasing in ( 2 , )
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)=4 ^3 x-6 ^2 x+12 x+100 aligned f^ (x) & =12 ^2 x x-12 x x+12 x & =12 x [ ^2 x- x+1 ] & =12 x [ ^2 x+(1- x) ] aligned We know, 1- x 0 and ^2 x 0 ^2 x+1- x>0 Therefore, f^ (x)>0 , when x>0 x ( - 2 , 2 ) So, f(x) is increasing when x ( - 2 , 2 ) and f^ (x) < 0 , when x < 0 x ( 2 , 3 2 ) So, f(x) is decreasing when x ( 2 , 3 2 ) Hence, f(x) is decreasing in ( 2 , ) .
