Function $f(x) = x^3 − 3x + 3$ is (A) Increasing in the interval (-1, 1) Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (C) and (D) only (B), (C) and (D) only (A) and (B) only (A), (B) and (D) only |
(B), (C) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B), (C) and (D) only Given function: \(f(x) = x^3 - 3x + 3\) Find the derivative: \[ f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3 = 3(x^2 - 1) \] Factor derivative: \[ f'(x) = 3(x - 1)(x + 1) \] Set \(f'(x) = 0\) to find critical points: \[ 3(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0 => x = -1, 1 \] Check the behavior of \(f'(x)\) around critical points by evaluating the sign:
Conclusion:
Thus, correct options are: (B), (C), and (D) |
