Sagot :

Answer:

C. [tex]x < -3[/tex] or [tex]x > 1[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]f(x) = x^{3}+3\cdot x^{2}-9\cdot x +7[/tex], the first derivate of the function is:

[tex]f'(x) = 3\cdot x^{2}+6\cdot x -9[/tex] (1)

By the Quadratic Formula, we determine the roots of this polynomial:

[tex]x_{1} = 1[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = -3[/tex]

And the factorized form of the polynomial is:

[tex](x-1)\cdot (x+3) > 0[/tex]

By law of Signs, the polynomial is increasing when [tex]x-1 > 0[/tex] and [tex]x +3 > 0[/tex] or [tex]x-1 < 0[/tex] and [tex]x+3 < 0[/tex], which means that:

[tex]x < -3[/tex] or [tex]x > 1[/tex]

Therefore, the right answer is C.

Answer:

The correct option is an option (c).

Given:

The given function is,

[tex]f(x)=x^{3}+3x^{2}-9x+7[/tex]

Computation:

The function is increasing when [tex]f'(x)>0[/tex].

Now, differentiating the given function with respect to [tex]x[/tex] up to first order we get,

[tex]f'(x)=3x^{2}+3(2x)-9(1)+0\\f'(x)=3x^{2}+6x-9\\=3(x^{2}+2x-3)\\=3(x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\=3(x+3)(x-1)[/tex]

So, the sign function is,

 Therefore, [tex]f'(x)>0[/tex] when [tex]x\in (-\infty ,-3)\cup (1,\infty )[/tex]

So, [tex]f(x)[/tex] is increasing on [tex]x<-3[/tex] or [tex]x>1[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is an option (c).
