Monotonicity of function about a point :


1. A function f(x) is called as a strictly increasing function about a point (or at a point) a 
Df if it is strictly increasing in an open interval containing a (as shown in figure).

2. A function f(x) is called a strictly decreasing function about a point x = a, if it is strictly


decreasing in an open interval containing a (as shown in figure).

Note : If x = a is a boundary point then use the appropriate one sided inequality to test
monotonicity of f(x).

increasing nor decreasing at x = a.

Test for increasing and decreasing functions about a point


Let f(x) be differentiable.
(1) If f(a) > 0 then f(x) is increasing at x = a.
(2) If f(a) < 0 then f(x) is decreasing at x = a.
(3) If f(a) = 0 then examine the sign of f(x) on the left neighbourhood and the right
neighbourhood of a.
(i) If f(x) is positive on both the neighbourhoods, then f is increasing at x =
a. (ii) If f(x) is negative on both the neighbourhoods, then f is decreasing
at x = a.
(iii) If f(x) have opposite signs on these neighbourhoods, then f is non-
monotonic at x = a.

Example # 18 : Let f(x) = x3 – 3x + 2. Examine the monotonicity of function at points x = 0, 1,


2.
Solution : f(x) = x3 – 3x + 2
f(x) = 3(x2 – 1)
(i) f(0) = – 3  decreasing at x = 0
(ii) f(1) = 0

also, f(x) is positive on left neighbourhood and f(x) is negative in right
neighbourhood.
   neither increasing nor decreasing at x = 1.
(iii) f(2) = 9   increasing at x = 2

Note : Above method is applicable only for functions those are continuous at x = a.

Self Practice Problems :

Ans. (16) (i) neither M.. nor M.D. (ii) M.D. (iii) M.
(17) M.. both at x = 0 and x = 1.
(18) M.. at x = 1; f(x) is M.. for x  [0, 2].
