Correct option: A.$\left( { - \infty ,\frac{5}{2}} \right) \cup \left( {3,\infty } \right)$
a
Given : $f(x)=(x-1)|(x-2)(x-3)|$
at $x < 0 \quad f(x)=(x-1)(-x-2)(-x-3)$
$=(x-1)(x+2)(x+3)$
$(x-1)\left(x^2+3 x+2 x+6\right)$
$=(x-1)\left(x^2+5 x+6\right)$
$=x^3+5 x^2-1 x^2-6$
$f(x)=x^3+4 x^2-6$
Differentiating w.r.t $x$
$f^1(x)=3 x^2-12 x=11$
Evaluate $f ^1( x )=0$
Given $f(x)=(-x)$
Given: $f(x)=(x-1)|(x-2)(x-3)|$
Finding critical points for $f(x)$
$f(x)=(-x+2)(-x+3)(x-1)$
$f^1(x)=3 x^2-12 x-11$
Evaluate $f ^{ l }( x )=0$
$3 x^2-12 x=11=0$
Therefore for $x < 2$
$x =\frac{6-\sqrt{3}}{3}$
$x=\alpha-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Therefore the intervals where the function is increasing is
Therefore $\left(2-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, 2\right)$ is the interval where the function is decreasing.
