Application of DerivativeHard

Question

Let φ(x) = (f(x))3 - 3(f(x))2 + 4f(x) + 5x + 3 sin x + 4 cos x ∀ x ∈ R, then

Options

A.φ is increasing whenever f is increasing
B.φ is increasing whenever f is decreasing
C.φ is decreasing whenever f is decreasing
D.φ is decreasing if f′(x) = - 11

Solution

φ′ (x) = (3(f(x))2 - 6(f(x)) + 4)f′(x) + 5 + 3 cos x - 4 sin x
5 - ≤  5 + 3 cosx - 4 sin x ≤ 5 +
adding (3(f(x))2 - 6(f(x)) + 4)f′(x)
(3(f(x))2 - 6(f(x)) + 4)f′(x)  ≤ φ′  (x) ≤ (3(f(x))2 - 6(f(x)) + 4)f′(x) + 10
∵   3(f(x))2 - 6f(x) + 4 = 3 (f(x) - 1)2 + 1 > 0
(3(f(x))2 - 6(f(x)) + 4)f′(x) ≥ 0    when ever f(x) is increasing.
⇒ φ′(x) < 0
⇒ φ (x) is decreasing.
