23. Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x , we get

f ‘ (x) = 6x3 – 12x2 – 90 x 1/2

For strictly increasing or strictly decreasing, put

f ‘(x) = 0, we get x = 0 , -3 , 5 1/2

Now, we find intervals in which f (x) is strictly increasing or strictly

decreasing. 1/2

(iii)Set of all lines related to y = 3x + 2 is set of all lines that are

parallel to y = 3x + 2. Let equation of line parallel to y = 3x + 2 be y = 2
mx + c where m is slope of line. Since y = 3x + 2 and y = mx + c are
parallel, slope of both the lines will be equal. Thus m = 3. Hence
required line is y = 3x + c.
