The function $f(x) = kx^3 + 6kx^2 + 18x + 17$ is increasing on $\mathbb{R}$(set of real numbers) if:

Curd is at 80° F, five minutes later it came down at 60°F. After another 5 minutes, its temperature became 50° F. Given that the rate of change of temperature is proportional to (T - S), where S is temperature of the surroundings and T is temperature of the curd at any time t. Then the temperature of the surroundings is :

The area bounded by the curve $y = 4 + 3x - x^2$ and $x$-axis is equal to
