Q1 FREE PREVIEW
The function \(f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+12 x-18\) is :
✓ Correct answer: b)
strictly increasing on \(R\)
Explanation
Given: \(f(x)={x}^{3}-3{x}^{2}+12x-18\)
Then, \({f}^{'}(x)=3{x}^{2}-6x+12=3\left({x}^{2}-2x+4\right)\)
since, \({x}^{2}-2x+4=(x-1{)}^{2}+3>0\forall x\in \mathrm{ℝ}\)
\(\Rightarrow {f}^{'}(x)>0\forall x\in \mathrm{ℝ}\)
\(\Rightarrow f\) is strictly increasing on \(\mathbb{R}\)
