MCQ
If the function $f(x) = kx^3 - 9x^2 + 9x + 3$ is monotonically increasing in every interval, then:
- A$\text{k}<3\text{k}<3$
- B$\text{k}\leq3\text{k}\leq3$
- ✓$\text{k}>3\text{k}>3$
- D$\text{k}\geq3$
$f(x) = kx^3 - 9x^2 + 9x + 3$
$f'(x) = kx^2 - 27$
$= 3(x^2 - 9)$
For $f(x)$ to be increasing, we must have
$f'(x) > 0$
$\Rightarrow 3(x^2 - 9) > 0$
$\Rightarrow (x^2 - 9) > 0 [$Since, $3 > 0, 3(x^2 - 9) > 0\Rightarrow (x^2 - 9) > 0]$
$\Rightarrow (x + 3)(x - 3) > 0$
$\Rightarrow x < -3$ or $x > 3$
$\Rightarrow |x| > 3$
