The function is
.
.
Apply derivative on each side with respect to
.


.
For finding the intervals of increase or decrease substitute
.



Take logarithm on each side.
\

.

Therefore, the intevals are
and
.
Consider the test interval is
.
Consider test point as
.
Substitute
in

.
Hence the function is decreasing in the interval
.
Consider the test point is
.
Consider test point as
.
Substitute
in
