If $\mathrm{f}(x)=x^3+\mathrm{b} x^2+\mathrm{c} x+\mathrm{d}$ and $0 \lt \mathrm{b}^2 \lt \mathrm{c}$, then…
- $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is strictly increasing function
- $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is bounded
- $\mathrm{f}(x)$ has a local maxima
- $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is a strictly decreasing function
Solution
Now its discriminant $=4\left(b^2-3 c\right)$ $\Rightarrow 4\left(b^2-\mathrm{c}\right)-8 \mathrm{c} \lt 0$, as $\mathrm{b}^2 \lt \mathrm{c}$ and $\mathrm{c}\gt0$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)\gt0$ for all $x \in \mathrm{R}$ $\Rightarrow f$ is strictly increasing on $R$.
