MCQ
If $f(x) = {x^3} - 6{x^2} + 9x + 3$ be a decreasing function, then  $x $ lies in
  • A
    $( - \infty , - 1) \cap (3,\,\infty )$
  • $(1,\,\,3)$
  • C
    $(3,\,\,\infty )$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(1,\,\,3)$
b
(b) $f(x) = {x^3} - 6{x^2} + 9x + 3$, 

For decreasing $f'(x) < 0$

==> $3{x^2} - 12x + 9 < 0$ 

==> ${x^2} - 4x + 3 < 0$

==> $(x - 3)\,\,(x - 1) < 0$,

$\therefore$ $x \in (1,\,3)$.
