Question
Show that the function $f(x)=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{3}{x}$ decreases in the intervals $(-3,0) \cup(0,3)$.
✓
Answer
$f(x)=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{x^2}$ for decreasing $f^{\prime}(x)<0 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{x^2}<0$ $\Rightarrow x^2$ < 9 $\Rightarrow$ -3 < x < 3 since, f(x) is not defined at x = 0 so $f(x)$ decreasing in $(-3,0) \cup(0,3)$
