Solution
Given,
f
(
x
)
=
2
x
3
+
9
x
2
+
12
x
−
1
differentiate with respect to x , we get
f
′
(
x
)
=
6
x
2
+
18
x
+
12
For the critical points put
f
′
(
x
)
=
0
i.e.
6
x
2
+
18
x
+
12
=
0

(
x

x

(
x

)
(
x
+

)
=
0
x
=
−

,
x
=

1
Clearly,
f
′
(
x
)
>
0
if
x
<
−
2
&
x
>
−
1
f
′
(
x
)
<
0
if
−
2
<
x
<
−
1
Thus
f
(
x
)
increases in
(
−
∞
,
−
2
)
∪
(
−
1
,
∞
)
, decreases in
(
−

,
−

)
