HInt: 1. If we diffirenciate a cubic equation, we get the quadratic equation. Not for cubic polynomial to be increasing function, its derivative should be positive, i.e. quadratic polynomial obtained should be postivie for entire range. Which is posibile if a > 0 and b2 – 4ac < 0 for ax2 + bx + c. Therefore k > 3/2.

2. for f(x) to be decreasing funciton, its derivate should be negative. Use this condition to solve the question. (P > 1/2). Thanks,,
