11. $$\frac { 1 + 11 x - 6 x ^ { 2 } } { ( x - 3 ) ( 1 - 2 x ) } \equiv A + \frac { B } { ( x - 3 ) } + \frac { C } { ( 1 - 2 x ) }$$
  1. Find the values of the constants \(A , B\) and \(C\). $$f ( x ) = \frac { 1 + 11 x - 6 x ^ { 2 } } { ( x - 3 ) ( 1 - 2 x ) } \quad x > 3$$
  2. Prove that \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is a decreasing function.
