    At which of the following intervals will \[f\text{ }\left( x \right)\]be strictly increasing?

    A) \[\left( -\infty ,\text{ }-1/2 \right)\cup \text{  }\left( 1/2,\text{ }\infty  \right)\]

    B) \[\left( -1/2,\,\,0 \right)\cup \left( 1/2,\text{ }\infty  \right)\]

    C) \[\left( 0,\,\,1/2 \right)\cup \left( 1/2,\text{ }\infty  \right)\]

    D) \[\left( -\infty ,\,-\,1/2 \right)\cup \left( 0,\text{ 1/2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[f\left( x \right)\]will be increasing if \[f'\left( x \right)\ge 0\] \[\Rightarrow 12x\left( 4{{x}^{2}}-1 \right)>0\Rightarrow 12x\left( 2x-1 \right)\left( 2x+1 \right)>0\] \[\Rightarrow x>\frac{1}{2}\]   or \[x<0\] and \[2x+1>0\] \[\Rightarrow x\in \left( \frac{1}{2},\infty  \right)or\,\,\,x\,\,\in \left( -\frac{1}{2},0 \right)\] \[\Rightarrow x\in \left( -\frac{1}{2},0 \right)\cup \left( \frac{1}{2},\infty  \right)\]
