✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (−∞,−1] and [1,∞)
  1. f′(x)=3−3x²=3(1−x)(1+x).
  2. The derivative is negative for x<−1 or x>1, and zero at −1,1. Strict decrease extends to those finite endpoints.
  3. The maximal intervals are (−∞,−1] and [1,∞); the assertion applies separately to each interval.
