The function f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 36x + 7 is strictly decreasing in the interval:

  • A. (-∞, -2)
  • B. (-2, 3)
  • C. (3, ∞)
  • D. (-3, 2)

Answer: B) (-2, 3)

Explanation: f'(x) = 6x² - 6x - 36 = 6(x² - x - 6) = 6(x - 3)(x + 2). For strictly decreasing, f'(x) < 0, which happens in the interval (-2, 3).
