MCQ
The function $f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+3 x-100, x \in R$ is $.......$
  • increasing.
  • B
    decreasing
  • C
    increasing and decreasing
  • D
    neither increasing nor decreasing

Answer

Correct option: A.
increasing.
$f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+3 x-100, x \in R$
$f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-6 x+3$
$=3\left(x^2-2 x+1\right)$
$=3(x-1)^2$
Since$, (x – 1)^2$ is always positive $x \neq 1$
$f'(x) > 0$ for all $x \in R, x \neq 1$
Hence$, f (x)$ is an increasing function, for all $x \in R, x \neq 1$
