MCQ
Function $f(x) = x^3 - 27x + 5$ is monotonically increasing when:
  • A
    $\text{x}<-3$
  • $|\text{x}|>3$
  • C
    $\text{x}\leq-3$
  • D
    $|\text{x}|\geq3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$|\text{x}|>3$
$f(x) = 3x^2 - 27x$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = x^3 - 27x + 5$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = 3(x^2 - 9)$
Function is increasing,
$3\big(\text{x}^2-9\big)\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2\geq9$
$\Rightarrow|\text{x}|\geq3$

Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two products (products D and E) they should produce to make the most money. The profit in the manufacture of a unit of product D is 100 and the profit in the manufacture of a unit of product E is100 and the profit in the manufacture of aunit of product E is 87. The firm is limited by its total available labor hours and total available machine hours. The total labor hours per week are 4,000. Product D takes 5 hours per unit of labor and product E takes 7 hours per unit. The total machine hours are 5,000 per week. Product D takes 9 hours per unit of machine time and product E takes 3 hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for this linear program?
