∴ C12 = − 4b + 5a
⎛ π⎞ ⎛⎜ π ⎞
A) decreasing on ⎜⎜0, ⎟⎟, increasing on ⎜ , ∞ ⎟⎟ ∴ 10 = − 4b + 5 × 2
⎝ e⎠ ⎝e ⎠ ∴ 10 = − 4b + 10
⎛ π⎞ ⎛⎜ π ⎞ ∴ 4b = 10 − 10
B) increasing on ⎜⎜0, ⎟⎟, decreasing on ⎜ , ∞ ⎟⎟
⎝ e⎠ ⎝e ⎠ ∴ 4b = 0
C) increasing on (0, ∞ ) ∴b =0
D) decreasingon (0, ∞ ) Therefore, the values are a = 2 and b = 0.
