    If \[f\left( x \right)={{x}^{5}}-20{{x}^{3}}+240x,\] then f (x) satisfies which of the following

    A) It is decreasing everywhere

    B) It is decreasing only In \[\left( 0,\infty  \right)\]

    C) It is increasing every where

    D) It is increasing only in \[\left( -\infty ,0 \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[f'\left( x \right)=5{{x}^{4}}-60{{x}^{2}}+240\] \[=5\left( {{x}^{4}}-12{{x}^{2}}+48 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }5\left[ {{\left( {{x}^{2}}-6 \right)}^{2}}+12 \right]\] \[\Rightarrow f'\left( x \right)>O\forall x\in R\] i.e., f(x) is increasing everywhere
