given, f(x) = 2x² - 3x
differentiate f(x) with respect to x,
f'(x) = 4x - 3 ------(1)
(a) when f(x) is strictly increasing function :
f'(x) > 0
from equation (1),
4x - 3 > 0 => x > 3/4
e.g., x ∈ (3/4, ∞ )
Therefore, the given function (f) is strictly increasing in interval x ∈ (3/4, ∞ ) .
(b) when f(x) is strictly decreasing function :
f'(x) < 0
from equation (1),
4x -3 < 0 => x < 3/4
e.g., x ∈ (-∞ , 3/4)
Therefore, the given function (f) is strictly decreasing in interval x ∈ (-∞ , 3/4)
