For f(x) = x³ - 3x² + 4, the function is increasing on intervals:
A(-∞, 0)
B(2, ∞)
C(0, 2) only
D(-∞, 0) ∪ (2, ∞) (where f'(x) = 3x(x-2) > 0)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. (-∞, 0) ∪ (2, ∞) (where f'(x) = 3x(x-2) > 0)
f'(x) = 3x² - 6x = 3x(x - 2). f' > 0 when x < 0 OR x > 2 (increasing). f' < 0 on (0, 2) (decreasing). Local max at x = 0, local min at x = 2.
