Application of Derivatives Class 12 Exercise 6.2

Question:1 . Show that the function given by f (x) = 3x + 17 is increasing on R.

Answer:

Let x_1 and x_2 are two numbers in R
x_1 < x_2 \Rightarrow 3x_1 < 3 x_2 \Rightarrow 3x_1 + 17 < 3x_2+17 \Rightarrow f(x_1)< f(x_2)
Hence, f is strictly increasing on R

Question:2. Show that the function given by f(x) = e^{2x} is increasing on R.

Answer:

Let x_1 \ and \ x_2 are two numbers in R
x_1 \ < \ x_2 \Rightarrow 2x_1 < 2x_2 \Rightarrow e^{2x_1} < e^{2x_2} \Rightarrow f(x_1) < f(x_2)
Hence, the function f(x) = e^{2x} is strictly increasing in R

Question:3 a) Show that the function given by f (x) = \sin x is increasing in \left ( 0 , \pi /2 \right )

Answer:

Given f(x) = sinx
f^{'}(x) = \cos x
Since, \cos x > 0 \ for \ each \ x\ \epsilon \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )
f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f(x) = sinx is strictly increasing in \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )

Question:3 b) Show that the function given by f (x) = \sin x is

decreasing in \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )

Answer:

f(x) = sin x
f^{'}(x) = \cos x
Since, \cos x < 0 for each x \ \epsilon \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )
So, we have f^{'}(x) < 0
Hence, f(x) = sin x is strictly decreasing in \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )

Question:3 c) Show that the function given by f (x) = \sin x is neither increasing nor decreasing in ( 0 , \pi )

Answer:

We know that sin x is strictly increasing in \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) and strictly decreasing in \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )
So, by this, we can say that f(x) = sinx is neither increasing or decreasing in range \left ( 0,\pi \right )

Question:4(a). Find the intervals in which the function f given by f ( x) = 2x ^2 - 3 x is increasing

Answer:

f ( x) = 2x ^2 - 3 x
f^{'}(x) = 4x - 3
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0
4x - 3 = 0
x = \frac{3}{4}
1628071298489 So, the range is \left ( -\infty, \frac{3}{4} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3}{4}, \infty \right )
So,
f(x)< 0 when x \ \epsilon \left ( -\infty,\frac{3}{4} \right ) Hence, f(x) is strictly decreasing in this range
and
f(x) > 0 when x \epsilon \left ( \frac{3}{4},\infty \right ) Hence, f(x) is strictly increasing in this range
Hence, f ( x) = 2x ^2 - 3 x is strictly increasing in x \epsilon \left ( \frac{3}{4},\infty \right )

Question:4(b) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f ( x) = 2 x ^2 - 3 x is
decreasing

Answer:

f ( x) = 2x ^2 - 3 x
f^{'}(x) = 4x - 3
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0
4x - 3 = 0
x = \frac{3}{4}
1654596806436 So, the range is \left ( -\infty, \frac{3}{4} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3}{4}, \infty \right )
So,
f(x)< 0 when x \ \epsilon \left ( -\infty,\frac{3}{4} \right ) Hence, f(x) is strictly decreasing in this range
and
f(x) > 0 when x \epsilon \left ( \frac{3}{4},\infty \right ) Hence, f(x) is strictly increasing in this range
Hence, f ( x) = 2x ^2 - 3 x is strictly decreasing in x \epsilon \left ( -\infty ,\frac{3}{4}\right )

Question:5(a) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f (x) = 2x^3 - 3x ^2 - 36 x + 7 is
increasing

Answer:

It is given that
f (x) = 2x^3 - 3x ^2 - 36 x + 7
So,
f^{'}(x)= 6x^{2} - 6x - 36
f^{'}(x)= 0
6x^{2} - 6x -36 =0 \Rightarrow 6 (x^{2} - x-6)
x^{2} - x-6 = 0
x^{2} - 3x+2x-6 = 0
x(x-3) + 2(x-3) = 0\\
(x+2)(x-3) = 0
x = -2 , x = 3

So, three ranges are there (-\infty,-2) , (-2,3) \ and \ (3,\infty)
Function f^{'}(x)= 6x^{2} - 6x - 36 is positive in interval (-\infty,-2) , (3,\infty) and negative in the interval (-2,3)
Hence, f (x) = 2x^3 - 3x ^2 - 36 x + 7 is strictly increasing in (-\infty,-2) \cup (3,\infty)
and strictly decreasing in the interval (-2,3)

Question:5(b) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f ( x) = 2x ^3 - 3x ^2 - 36x + 7 is
decreasing

Answer:

We have f ( x) = 2x ^3 - 3x ^2 - 36x + 7

Differentiating the function with respect to x, we get :

f' ( x) = 6x ^2 - 6x - 36

or = 6\left ( x-3 \right )\left ( x+2 \right )

When f'(x)\ =\ 0 , we have :

0\ = 6\left ( x-3 \right )\left ( x+2 \right )

or \left ( x-3 \right )\left ( x+2 \right )\ =\ 0

1654597172033 So, three ranges are there (-\infty,-2) , (-2,3) \ and \ (3,\infty)
Function f^{'}(x)= 6x^{2} - 6x - 36 is positive in the interval (-\infty,-2) , (3,\infty) and negative in the interval (-2,3)

So, f(x) is decreasing in (-2, 3)

Question:6(a) Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or
decreasing:
x ^2 + 2x -5

Answer:

f(x) = x ^2 + 2x -5
f^{'}(x) = 2x + 2 = 2(x+1)
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0 \\ 2(x+1) = 0\\ x = -1

The range is from (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (-1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty,-1) f^{'}(x)= 2(x+1) is -ve
Hence, function f(x) = x ^2 + 2x -5 is strictly decreasing in interval (-\infty,-1)
In interval (-1,\infty) f^{'}(x)= 2(x+1) is +ve
Hence, function f(x) = x ^2 + 2x -5 is strictly increasing in interval (-1,\infty)

Question:6(b) Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or
decreasing

10 - 6x - 2x^2

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = 10 - 6x - 2x^2
f^{'}(x) = -6 - 4x
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0
6+4x= 0
x= -\frac{3}{2}
So, the range is (-\infty , -\frac{3}{2}) \ and \ (-\frac{3}{2},\infty)
In interval (-\infty , -\frac{3}{2}) , f^{'}(x) = -6 - 4x is +ve
Hence, f(x) = 10 - 6x - 2x^2 is strictly increasing in the interval (-\infty , -\frac{3}{2})
In interval ( -\frac{3}{2},\infty) , f^{'}(x) = -6 - 4x is -ve
Hence, f(x) = 10 - 6x - 2x^2 is strictly decreasing in interval ( -\frac{3}{2},\infty)

Question:6(c) Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or
decreasing:

- 2 x^3 - 9x ^2 - 12 x + 1

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = - 2 x^3 - 9x ^2 - 12 x + 1^{}
f^{'}(x) = - 6 x^2 - 18x - 12
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0\\ - 6 x^2 - 18x - 12 = 0\\ -6(x^{2}+3x+2) = 0 \\ x^{2}+3x+2 = 0 \\x^{2} + x + 2x + 2 = 0\\ x(x+1) + 2(x+1) = 0\\ (x+2)(x+1) = 0\\ x = -2 \ and \ x = -1

So, the range is (-\infty , -2) \ , (-2,-1) \ and \ (-1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty , -2) \cup \ (-1,\infty) , f^{'}(x) = - 6 x^2 - 18x - 12 is -ve
Hence, f(x) = - 2 x^3 - 9x ^2 - 12 x + 1^{} is strictly decreasing in interval (-\infty , -2) \cup \ (-1,\infty)
In interval (-2,-1) , f^{'}(x) = - 6 x^2 - 18x - 12 is +ve
Hence, f(x) = - 2 x^3 - 9x ^2 - 12 x + 1^{} is strictly increasing in the interval (-2,-1)

Question:6(d) Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or
decreasing:

6- 9x - x ^2

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = 6- 9x - x ^2
f^{'}(x) = - 9 - 2x
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0\\ - 9 - 2x = 0 \\ 2x = -9\\ x = -\frac{9}{2}

So, the range is (-\infty, - \frac{9}{2} ) \ and \ ( - \frac{9}{2}, \infty )
In interval (-\infty, - \frac{9}{2} ) , f^{'}(x) = - 9 - 2x is +ve
Hence, f(x) = 6- 9x - x ^2 is strictly increasing in interval (-\infty, - \frac{9}{2} )
In interval ( - \frac{9}{2},\infty ) , f^{'}(x) = - 9 - 2x is -ve
Hence, f(x) = 6- 9x - x ^2 is strictly decreasing in interval ( - \frac{9}{2},\infty )

Question:6(e) Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or
decreasing:

( x+1) ^3 ( x-3) ^3

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = ( x+1) ^3 ( x-3) ^3
f^{'}(x) = 3( x+1) ^2(x-3)^{3} + 3( x-3) ^2(x+1)^3
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0 \\ 3( x+1) ^2(x-3)^{3} + 3( x-3) ^2(x+1)^{3} \\ 3(x+1)^{2}(x-3)^{2}((x-3) + (x+1) ) = 0 \\ (x+1)(x-3) = 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (2x-2) = 0\\ x=-1 \ and \ x = 3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x = 1
So, the intervals are (-\infty,-1), (-1,1), (1,3) \ and \ (3,\infty)

Our function f^{'}(x) = 3( x+1) ^2(x-3)^{3} + 3( x-3) ^2(x+1)^3 is +ve in the interval (1,3) \ and \ (3,\infty)
Hence, f(x) = ( x+1) ^3 ( x-3) ^3 is strictly increasing in the interval (1,3) \ and \ (3,\infty)
Our function f^{'}(x) = 3( x+1) ^2(x-3)^{3} + 3( x-3) ^2(x+1)^3 is -ve in the interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (-1,1)
Hence, f(x) = ( x+1) ^3 ( x-3) ^3 is strictly decreasing in interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (-1,1)

Question:7 Show that y = \log( 1+ x ) - \frac{2 x }{2+x } , x > -1 is an increasing function of x throughout its domain.

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x)\Rightarrow y = \log( 1+ x ) - \frac{2 x }{2+x }
f^{'}(x)\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{2 (2+x) - (1)(2x)} {(2+x)^{2} } = \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{4+2x-2x}{(2+x)^{2}}
= \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{4}{(2+x)^2} = \frac{(2+x)^2 - 4(x+1)}{(x+1)(2+x)^{2}}
= \frac{4+x^{2} +4x -4x - 4}{(x+1)(2+x)^{2}} = \frac{x^{2} }{(x+1)(2+x)^{2}}
f^{'}(x) = \frac{x^{2}}{(x+1)(x+2)^2}
Now, for x > -1 , is is clear that f^{'}(x) = \frac{x^{2}}{(x+1)(x+2)^2} > 0
Hence, f(x)\Rightarrow y = \log( 1+ x ) - \frac{2 x }{2+x } strictly increasing when x > -1

Question:8 Find the values of x for which y = [x(x-2)]^{2} is an increasing function.

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x)\Rightarrow y = [x(x-2)]^{2}
f^{'}(x)\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = 2[x(x-2)][(x-2)+x]
= 2(x^2-2x)(2x-2)
= 4x(x-2)(x-1)
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0\\ 4x(x-2)(x-1) = 0\\ x=0 , x= 2 \ and \ x = 1
So, the intervals are (-\infty,0),(0,1),(1,2) \ and \ (2,\infty)
In interval (0,1)and \ (2,\infty) , f^{'}(x)> 0
Hence, f(x)\Rightarrow y = [x(x-2)]^{2} is an increasing function in the interval (0,1)\cup (2,\infty)

Question:9 Prove that y = \frac{4 \sin \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )} - \theta is an increasing function of \theta\: \: in\: \: [ 0 , \pi /2 ]

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = y = \frac{4 \sin \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )} - \theta

f^{'}(x) = \frac{dy}{d\theta} = \frac{4 \cos \theta(2+\cos \theta) - (-\sin \theta)4\sin \theta) }{(2+ \cos \theta )^2} - 1
= \frac{8 \cos \theta+4\cos^2 \theta + 4\sin^2 \theta - (2+ \cos \theta )^2 }{(2+ \cos \theta )^2}
= \frac{8 \cos \theta+4(\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) - 4- \cos^2 \theta - 4\cos \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )^2}
= \frac{8 \cos \theta+4 - 4- \cos^2 \theta - 4\cos \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )^2}
= \frac{4 \cos \theta-\cos^2 \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )^2}
Now, for \theta \ \epsilon \ [0,\frac{\pi}{2}]
\\ 4 \cos \theta \geq \cos^2 \theta\\ 4 \cos \theta - \cos^2 \geq 0\\ and \ (2+\cos \theta)^2 > 0
So, f^{'}(x) > 0 \ for \ \theta \ in \ [0,\frac{\pi}{2}]
Hence, f(x) = y = \frac{4 \sin \theta }{(2+ \cos \theta )} - \theta is increasing function in \theta \ \epsilon \ [0,\frac{\pi}{2}]

Question:10 Prove that the logarithmic function is increasing on ( 0 , \infty )

Answer:

Let logarithmic function is log x
f(x) = log x
f^{'}(x) = \frac{1}{x}
Now, for all values of x in ( 0 , \infty ) , f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, the logarithmic function f(x) = log x is increasing in the interval ( 0 , \infty )

Question:11 Prove that the function f given by f ( x) = x ^2 - x + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing on (– 1, 1).

Answer:

Given function is,
f ( x) = x ^2 - x + 1
f^{'}(x) = 2x - 1
Now, for interval (-1,\frac{1}{2}) , f^{'}(x) < 0 and for interval (\frac{1}{2},1),f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, by this, we can say that f ( x) = x ^2 - x + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing in the interval (-1,1)

Question:12 Which of the following functions are decreasing on 0 , \pi /2 (A) \cos x \\(B) \cos 2x \\ (C) \cos 3x \\ (D) \tan x

Answer:

(A)
f(x) = \cos x \\ f^{'}(x) = -\sin x
f^{'}(x) < 0 for x in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})
Hence, f(x) = \cos x is decreasing function in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})

(B)
f(x) = \cos 2x \\ f^{'}(x) = -2\sin2 x
Now, as
0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2}\\ 0 < 2x < \pi
f^{'}(x) < 0 for 2x in (0,\pi)
Hence, f(x) = \cos 2x is decreasing function in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})

(C)
f(x) = \cos 3x \\ f^{'}(x) = -3\sin3 x
Now, as
0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2}\\ 0 < 3x < \frac{3\pi}{2}
f^{'}(x) < 0 for x \ \epsilon \ \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{3} \right ) and f^{'}(x) > 0 \ x \ \epsilon \ \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} , \frac{\pi}{2}\right )
Hence, it is clear that f(x) = \cos 3x is neither increasing nor decreasing in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})

(D)
f(x) = \tan x\\ f^{'}(x) = \sec^{2}x
f^{'}(x) > 0 for x in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})
Hence, f(x) = \tan x is strictly increasing function in the interval (0,\frac{\pi}{2})

So, only (A) and (B) are decreasing functions in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})

Question:13 On which of the following intervals is the function f given by f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1 decreasing ?
(A) (0,1) (B) \frac{\pi}{2},\pi (C) 0,\frac{\pi}{2} (D) None of these

Answer:

(A) Given function is,
f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1
f^{'}(x) = 100x^{99} + \cos x
Now, in interval (0,1)
f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1 is increasing function in interval (0,1)

(B) Now, in interval \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )
100x^{99} > 0 \ but \ \cos x < 0
100x^{99} > \cos x \\ 100x^{99} - \cos x > 0 , f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1 is increasing function in interval \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )

(C) Now, in interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )
100x^{99} > 0 \ and \ \cos x > 0
100x^{99} > \cos x \\ 100x^{99} - \cos x > 0 , f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1 is increasing function in interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )

So, f ( x) = x ^{100} + \sin x - 1 is increasing for all cases
Hence, correct answer is (D) None of these

Question:14 For what values of a the function f given by f (x) = x^2 + ax + 1 is increasing on
[1, 2]?

Answer:

Given function is,
f (x) = x^2 + ax + 1
f^{'}(x) = 2x + a
Now, we can clearly see that for every value of a > -2
f^{'}(x) = 2x + a > 0
Hence, f (x) = x^2 + ax + 1 is increasing for every value of a > -2 in the interval [1,2]

Question:15 Let I be any interval disjoint from [–1, 1]. Prove that the function f given by f ( x) = x + 1/x is increasing on I.

Answer:

Given function is,
f ( x) = x + 1/x
f^{'}(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}
Now,
f^{'}(x) = 0\\ 1 - \frac{1}{x^2} = 0\\ x^{2} = 1\\ x = \pm1

So, intervals are from (-\infty,-1), (-1,1) \ and \ (1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty,-1), (1,\infty) , \frac{1}{x^2} < 1 \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{1}{x^2} > 0
f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f ( x) = x + 1/x is increasing in interval (-\infty,-1)\cup (1,\infty)
In interval (-1,1) , \frac{1}{x^2} > 1 \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{1}{x^2} < 0
f^{'}(x) < 0
Hence, f ( x) = x + 1/x is decreasing in interval (-1,1)
Hence, the function f given by f ( x) = x + 1/x is increasing on I disjoint from [–1, 1]

Question:16 Prove that the function f given by f (x) = \log \sin x is increasing on

\left ( 0 , \pi /2 \right )\: \: and \: \: decreasing \: \: on \: \: \left ( \pi/2 , \pi \right )
Answer:

Given function is,
f (x) = \log \sin x
f^{'}(x) = \frac{1}{\sin x}\cos x = \cot x
Now, we know that cot x is+ve in the interval \left ( 0 , \pi /2 \right ) and -ve in the interval \left ( \pi/2 , \pi \right )
f^{'}(x) > 0 \ in \ \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ f^{'}(x) < 0 \ in \ \left ( \frac{\pi}{2} , \pi \right )
Hence, f (x) = \log \sin x is increasing in the interval \left ( 0 , \pi /2 \right ) and decreasing in interval \left ( \pi/2 , \pi \right )

Question:17 Prove that the function f given by f (x) = log |cos x| is decreasing on ( 0 , \pi /2 )
and increasing on ( 3 \pi/2 , 2\pi )

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) = log|cos x|
value of cos x is always +ve in both these cases
So, we can write log|cos x| = log(cos x)
Now,
f^{'}(x) = \frac{1}{\cos x}(-\sin x) = -\tan x
We know that in interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) , \tan x > 0 \Rightarrow -\tan x< 0
f^{'}(x) < 0
Hence, f(x) = log|cos x| is decreasing in interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )

We know that in interval \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right ) , \tan x < 0 \Rightarrow -\tan x> 0
f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f(x) = log|cos x| is increasing in interval \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right )

Question:18 Prove that the function given by f (x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 100 is increasing in R.

Answer:

Given function is,
f (x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 100
f^{'}(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 3
= 3(x^2 - 2x + 1) = 3(x-1)^2
f^{'}(x) = 3(x-1)^2
We can clearly see that for any value of x in R f^{'}(x) > 0
Hence, f (x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 100 is an increasing function in R

Question:19 The interval in which y = x ^2 e ^{-x} is increasing is

(A) ( - \infty , \infty ) (B) ( - 2 , 0 ) (C) ( - 2 , \infty ) (D) ( 0, 2 )

Answer:

Given function is,
f(x) \Rightarrow y = x ^2 e ^{-x}
f^{'}(x) \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x e ^{-x} + -e^{-x}(x^{2})
xe ^{-x}(2 -x)
f^{'}(x) = xe ^{-x}(2 -x)
Now, it is clear that f^{'}(x) > 0 only in the interval (0,2)
So, f(x) \Rightarrow y = x ^2 e ^{-x} is an increasing function for the interval (0,2)
Hence, (D) is the answer
