no its f'(x)≤0 only for monotonically decreasing
and f'(X)<0 is for strictly decreasing
find the values of 'a' for which the function f(x)=(a+2)x3 -ax2+9ax-1 is monotonically decreasing for x eR
iknow its very easy but i m not getting the ans
i did f'(x)≤0
and afetr taht D<=0
not getting ans with it
any other case also required??
for monotonically decreasing ,,,,,f'(x) < 0....you have a wrong assumption...,f'(x) ≤ 0.
no its f'(x)≤0 only for monotonically decreasing
and f'(X)<0 is for strictly decreasing
so we need a word "strictly", in this case to avoid confusion ....was it there?
