The function $f(x) = 4-3x+3x^2-x^3$ is (Here R is set of real numbers) |
decreasing on R increasing on R increasing on (0, ∞) neither increasing nor decreasing on (-∞, 0) |
decreasing on R |
The correct answer is Option (1) → decreasing on R Given function: $f(x) = 4 - 3x + 3x^2 - x^3$ Derivative: $f'(x) = -3 + 6x - 3x^2 = -3(x^2 - 2x + 1) = -3(x - 1)^2$ Since $(x - 1)^2 \ge 0$ for all real $x$, $f'(x) \le 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Therefore, the function is decreasing for all real $x$ (never increasing). Final Answer: decreasing on R |
