MCQ
Let $f(x) = x^3 -6x^2 +15x + 3.$ Then:
  • A
    $f(x) > 0$ for all $\text{x}\in\text{R}.$
  • B
    $f(x) > 0$ for all $\text{x}\in\text{R}.$
  • $f(x)$ is invertible.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
$f(x)$ is invertible.

$f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 +15x + 3$
$f'(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 15$
$= 3(x^2 - 4x + 5)$
$= 3(x^2 - 4x + 4 + 1)$
$=3(\text{x}-2)^2+\frac{1}{3}>0$
Therefore, $f(x)$ is strictly increasing function.
$\Rightarrow f^{-1}(x)$ exists.
Hence, $f(x)$ is an invertible function.
