To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.

f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:

Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)

How many integers n leave remainder 4 when divided by 7, if n satisfies the given inequality?
bekas [8.4K]

Consider inequality |-n| This inequality is equivalent to inequality |n|

This means that -46

The greatest integer number n, such that -46 when dividing by 7 gives the remainder 4 is 39. Then subtract 7, you get 32, then 25 and so on.

When n=-39, -32, -25, -18, -11, -4, 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39 then dividing by 7 the remainder is 4.

Answer: 12 integers.
