If f(x)=2 x^3-15 x^2-144 x-7 , then f(x) is strictly decreasing in
Options
- A(-8,3)
- B(-3,8)
- C(3,8)
- D(-8,-3)
Correct answer
B. (-3,8)
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f ( x )=2 x ^3-15 x ^2-144 x -7 & f ^ ( x )=6 x ^2-30 x -144 & When f ^ ( x ) < 0, we get x ^2-5 x -24 < 0 & ( x -8)( x +3) < 0 -3 < x < 8 aligned
