4. Given the function f (x) = x + , 0 < a < 9. Determine the intervals
x−6
on which f is increasing/decreasing.

4. Decreasing/Increasing functions
Given the function f (x) = a(x − a)(x − 1), a is a parameter.
a Expand the right hand side and determine f ′ (x).
b Use signdiagrams to determine the sign variation of f ′ (x).
c Use b. to examine where f (x) is increasing/decreasing.
