✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Increasing on [−3,0] and [5,∞); decreasing on (−∞,−3] and [0,5].
  1. Differentiate: f′=6x³−12x²−90x=6x(x+3)(x−5).
  2. The critical inputs are −3,0,5.
  3. The derivative signs on successive open intervals are −,+,−,+. Strict monotonicity extends to the finite critical endpoints.
  4. Increasing intervals are [−3,0] and [5,∞); decreasing intervals are (−∞,−3] and [0,5].
