Which of the following are correct?
(A) The function \(f(x)=3 x+12\) is increasing on \(R\).
(B) The function \(f(x)=e^{2 x}\) is decreasing on \(R\).
(C) The function \(f(x)=x^2-x+1\) is neither increasing nor decreasing on \((-1,1)\).
(D) The function \(f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+4 x\) is increasing on \(R\).
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (C) and (D) only
  4. D (A), (B) and (C) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=3x+12 \Rightarrow f'(x)=3\). \(f'(x)>0\) on \(R\). (A) Correct. \(f(x)=e^{2x} \Rightarrow f'(x)=2e^{2x}\). \(f'(x)>0\) on \(R\). (B) Incorrect. \(f(x)=x^2-x+1 \Rightarrow f'(x)=2x-1\). \(f'(x)\) changes sign at \(x=1/2 \in (-1,1)\). (C) Correct.…
