Q33 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (22 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let f:R→R be defined as fx=-43x3+2x2+3x, x>0           3xex          ,  x≤0. Then f is increasing function in the interval

  • A
    -12, 2
  • B
    0, 2
  • Correct answer
    C
    -1, 32
  • D
    -3, -1

Solution

We know that, ddxxn=nxn-1 and ddxex=ex

Hence, ddx-43x3+2x2+3x=-43×3x2+2×2x+3=-4x2+4x+3

And, using product rule, we getddx3xex=3xddxex+3exddxx=3xex+3ex=3exx+1

⇒f'x=-4x2+4x+3,x>03ex(1+x),x≤0

For x>0, f'(x)=-4x2+4x+3=-2x+12x-3

The sign scheme of f'x is

Figure

We know that, if f'x>0 then for those value of x, fx is increasing.

⇒f(x) is increasing in -12, 32.

For x≤0, f'(x)=3ex(1+x)

As ex>0, ∀ x∈R

⇒f'(x)>0 ∀ x∈(-1, 0).

So, in complete domain, f(x) is increasing in -1, 0∪-12, 32=-1, 32.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
