If g(x) is a continuous function at x = a such that g(a) > 0 and $f^{\prime}(x)=g(x)\left(x^2-a x+a^2\right)$ for all $x \in R$, then f(x), is |
increasing in the neighbourhood of x = a decreasing in the neighbourhood of x = a constant in the neighbourhood of x = a maximum at x = a |
increasing in the neighbourhood of x = a |
Since g(x) is continuous at x = a and g(a) > 0 ∴ g(x) > 0 for all x belonging in the neighbourhood of $x=\pi$ ⇒ f'(x) > 0 for all x in the neighbourhood of x = a [∵ $x^2-a x+a^2>0$ for all $x \in R$] ⇒ f(x) is increasing in the neighbourhood of x = a |
