Question

If f x = 3 x 4 + 4 x 3 - 12 x 2 + 12 , then f ( x ) is, increasing in − ∞ , − 2 ∪ 0 , 1, increasing in − 2 , 0 ∪ 1 , ∞, decreasing in − 2 , 0 ∪ 0 , 1, decreasing in - ∞ , - 2 ∪ 1 , ∞

Since, f ( x ) = 3 x 4 + 4 x 3 - 12 x 2 + 12 f ′ x = 12 x 3 + 12 x 2 - 24 x = 12 x x - 1 ( x + 2 ) The above expression it is clear that f x is increasing in − 2 , 0 ∪ 1 , ∞ and decreasing in - ∞ , - 2 ∪ 0 , 1
