Show that the function is
a. strictly increasing on [0, ∞[
b. strictly decreasing on [0, ∞[
c. neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing on R
Domain of function is R.
f’(x)=2x
for x>0 f’(x)>0 i.e. increasing
for x<0 f’(x)<0 i.e. decreasing
hence it is neither increasing nor decreasing in R
