Find the interval in which the function f(x) = x³ - 12x² + 36x + 17 is strictly increasing.
Find the interval in which the function f(x) = x³ - 12x² + 36x + 17 is strictly increasing.
- A. (2, 6)
- B. (-∞, 2) ∪ (6, ∞)
- C. (-6, 2)
- D. (-∞, -6) ∪ (-2, ∞)
Answer: B) (-∞, 2) ∪ (6, ∞)
Explanation: f'(x) = 3x² - 24x + 36 = 3(x - 2)(x - 6). For f'(x) > 0, x < 2 or x > 6. Interval is (-∞, 2) ∪ (6, ∞).
