Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Increasing function

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function is \(f(x) = x^3 + \dfrac{3}{2}x^2 + 3x + 3\). Differentiating with respect to \(x\), we get: \(f'(x) = 3x^2 + 3x + 3\) \(f'(x) = 3(x^2 + x + 1)\) The discriminant of the quadratic \(x^2 + x + 1\) is \(D = 1^2 - 4(1)(1) = -3 0\) for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\).…
