MCQ
The function $y = 2{x^3} - 9{x^2} + 12x - 6$ is monotonic decreasing, when
  • $1 < x < 2$
  • B
    $x > 2$
  • C
    $x < 1$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1 < x < 2$
a
(a) Here $f(x) = y = 2{x^3} - 9{x^2} + 12x - 6$

$ \Rightarrow $$f'(x) = 6{x^2} - 18x + 12$

Since$f(x)$ is increasing or decreasing in $(a,b)$ according as $f'(x) > 0$ or $ < 0$ for every $x \in (a,b)$.

Hence $f'(x) = 6(x - 2)(x - 1)$ which is obviously decreasing if $x \in (1,2)\,\,\,i.e.,\,1 < x < 2$.
