Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.
$f(x)=5+36 x+3 x^{2}-2 x^{3}$
Given:- Function $f(x)=5+36 x+3 x^{2}-2 x^{3}$
Theorem:- Let $f$ be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval $(a, b)$.
(i) If $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ for all $x \in(a, b)$, then $f(x)$ is increasing on $(a, b)$
(ii) If $f^{\prime}(x)<0$ for all $x \in(a, b)$, then $f(x)$ is decreasing on $(a, b)$
Algorithm:-
(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to $f(x)$
(ii) Find $f^{\prime}(x)$
(iii) Put $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ and solve this inequation.
For the value of $x$ obtained in (ii) $f(x)$ is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.
Here we have,
$f(x)=5+36 x+3 x^{2}-2 x^{3}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(5+36 \mathrm{x}+3 \mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{x}^{3}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=36+6 \mathrm{x}-6 \mathrm{x}^{2}$
For $f(x)$ lets find critical point, we must have
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow 36+6 x-6 x^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow 6\left(-x^{2}+x+6\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow 6\left(-x^{2}+3 x-2 x+6\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow-x^{2}+3 x-2 x+6=0$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}-3 x+2 x-6=0$
$\Rightarrow(x-3)(x+2)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=3,-2$
clearly, $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ if $-2 and $f^{\prime}(x)<0$ if $x<-2$ and $x>3$ Thus, $f(x)$ increases on $x \in(-2,3)$ and $f(x)$ is decreasing on interval $(-\infty,-2) \cup(3, \infty)$
