Let S and T be the sets where f(x) = x³/3 - 5x²/2 + 6x + 7 decreases and increases respectively. What is S equal to?

  1. A.{x ≤ 2} ∪ {x ≥ 3}
  2. B.{x < 2} ∪ {x > 3}
  3. C.(2, 3)
  4. D.[2, 3]✓ Correct

Explanation

f'(x) = (x-2)(x-3) ≤ 0 when 2 ≤ x ≤ 3. So f decreases on [2, 3], hence S = [2, 3].
