Find the interval in which the function f (x)=x^4-4 x^3+10 is strictly decreasing.
Find the interval in which the function $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{3}+10$ is strictly decreasing.
Marking-scheme solution
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)=$\displaystyle 4$ x^{$\displaystyle 3$}-$\displaystyle 12$ x^{$\displaystyle 2$}=$\displaystyle 4$ x^{$\displaystyle 2$}(x-$\displaystyle 3$)
& \Rightarrow $\displaystyle 4$ x^{$\displaystyle 2$}(x-$\displaystyle 3$)<$\displaystyle 0$ \text { for } x<$\displaystyle 3$, x \neq $\displaystyle 0$
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)<$\displaystyle 0$ \text { for } x<$\displaystyle 3$, x \neq $\displaystyle 0$
\end{aligned}
$$Thus, $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{3}+10$ is strictly decreasing on $\displaystyle (-\infty, 0) \cup(0,3)$.
OR
Thus, $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{4}-4 x^{3}+10$ is strictly decreasing on $\displaystyle \left.(-\infty, 0] \cup[0,3]\right)$
