9.1.5 For x < −2 , g ′( x) > 0 ∴ the gradient of g is
positive and for the values of x immediately right

For g ′( x) < 0 , the gradient of g is negative.
NOTE: Any other valid explanation that indicates
understanding (2)
9.2 The gradient of the tangent to h at any value of x is:
h′( x) = 12 x 2 + 5
derivative
x 2 ≥ 0 for all x ∈
∴12 x 2 ≥ 0 for all x ∈ explanation
∴12 x 2 + 5 > 0 for all x ∈ (the gradient is ≥ 5 )
∴ The gradient of the tangent is always positive. It is
impossible to draw a tangent to h which has a negative
gradient.
OR
A negative gradient requires:
12 x 2 + 5 < 0
∴12 x 2 < −5
