Find the maximal intervals of strict increase and decrease for f(x)=3x⁴−4x³−12x²+5.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Increasing [−1,0] and [2,∞); decreasing (−∞,−1] and [0,2].
  1. f′=12x³−12x²−24x=12x(x+1)(x−2).
  2. The stationary inputs are −1,0,2.
  3. Its derivative signs on successive intervals are −,+,−,+. Include finite endpoints by continuity and strict monotonicity on each interior.
  4. Thus increasing intervals are [−1,0] and [2,∞); decreasing intervals are (−∞,−1] and [0,2].

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] f′=12x³−12x²−24x=12x(x+1)(x−2).
  • [1 mark] The stationary inputs are −1,0,2.
  • [1 mark] Its derivative signs on successive intervals are −,+,−,+. Include finite endpoints by continuity and strict monotonicity on each interior.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus increasing intervals are [−1,0] and [2,∞); decreasing intervals are (−∞,−1] and [0,2].
