MCQ
The interval for which the given function $f(x) = 2{x^3} - 3{x^2} - 36x + 7$ is decreasing, is
  • $(-2, 3)$
  • B
    $(2, 3)$
  • C
    $(2,-3)$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(-2, 3)$
a
(a) $f(x) = 2{x^3} - 3{x^2} - 36x + 7$

$ \Rightarrow f'(x) = 6{x^2} - 6x - 36$ but for decreasing $f'(x) < 0$

==> ${x^2} - x - 6 < 0 \Rightarrow (x - 3)(x + 2) < 0$ ==> $ - 2 < x < 3$

Hence the required interval is $ (-2, 3).$
