Question

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.
$f(x) = 2x^2 - 24x + 7$

✓

Answer

We have
$f(x) = 2x^2 - 24x + 7$
$f'(x) = 6x^2- 24$
Critical points
$f'(x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 6x^2- 24 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 6x^2= 24$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 4$
$\Rightarrow x = 2, -2$
Clearly, $f'(x) > 0$ if $x > -1$ and $x < -2$
$f'(x) < 0$ if $-2\leq\text{x}\leq2$
Thus, f(x) increasing in $(-\infty,-2)\cup(2,\infty),$ decreasing in $(-2, 2).$
