    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 1

    Answer:

    Correct option (b)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    Given:$f(x)=x-e^{x}+\tan \left(\frac{2 \pi}{7}\right)$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x-e^{x}+\tan \left(\frac{2 \pi}{7}\right)$
    Differentiate w.r.t x
    ${f}'(x)=1-e^{x}$
    Since$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 1-e^{x}>0 \\ &\Rightarrow 1>e^{x} \\ &\Rightarrow x<0 \\ &\Rightarrow x \in(-\infty, 0) \end{aligned}$
    Thus, the required interval is $(-\infty, 0)$

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 2

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    Given:$f(x)=\cot ^{-1} x+x$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\cot ^{-1} x+x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{-1}{1+x^{2}}+1 \end{aligned}$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{1+x^{2}}+1>0 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}>0 \\ &\Rightarrow x \in(-\infty, \infty) \end{aligned}$
    Thus, the required interval is $(-\infty, \infty)$

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 3

    Answer:

    Answer: Correct option (c)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is decreasing function ${f}'(x)<0$
    Given:$f(x)=x^{x}$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{x}$
    Taking log on both sides,
    $\begin{aligned} &\log f(x)=\log x^{x} \\ &\log f(x)=x \log x \quad\left[\because \log a^{b}=b \log a\right] \end{aligned}$
    Differentiate w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{f(x)} \cdot f^{\prime}(x)=x \cdot \frac{1}{x}+\log x .1 \end{aligned}$ [$\because$ by using u.v. rule]
    $\begin{aligned} &\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=1+\log x\\ &\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=x^{x}( 1+\log x) \quad\left[\because f(x)=x^{x}\right] \end{aligned}$$\begin{aligned} &\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=1+\log x\\ &\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=x^{x}( 1+\log x) \quad\left[\because f(x)=x^{x}\right] \end{aligned}$
    $f(x)$ is decreasing function ${f}{}'(x)<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow x^{x}(1+\log x)<0 \\ &\Rightarrow 1+\log x<0 \\ &\Rightarrow \log x<-1 \\ &\Rightarrow x<e^{-1} \\ &\because e>1 \Rightarrow e^{-1}<1 \end{aligned}$
    Thus the function is decreasing on $\left ( 0,\frac{1}{e} \right )$

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 5

    Answer:

    Correct option (a)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given:$f(x)=2 x^{2}-k x+5$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=2 x^{2}-k x+5$
    Differentiate w.r.t x
    $f^{\prime}(x)=2.2 x-k$
    $\because$ If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\therefore 4 x-k>0 \text { on }[1,2] \\ &k<4 x \end{aligned}$
    So, the minimum value of k is 4x
    $k<4\\ \therefore k\epsilon \left ( -\infty, 4 \right )$
    Thus k lies in the interval $\left ( -\infty ,4 \right )$

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 6

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=x^{3}+a x^{2}+b x+5 \sin ^{2} x$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{3}+a x^{2}+b x+5 \sin ^{2} x$
    Differentiate w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) &=3 x^{2}+2 a x+b+5 \cdot \sin x \cdot \cos x \\ &=3 x^{2}+2 a x+b+5 \cdot \sin 2 x \quad[\because \sin 2 x=2 \sin x \cos x] \end{aligned}$
    $\because$ If $f(x)$ is increasing ${f}'(x)>0$
    $\therefore 3 x^{2}+2 a x+b+5 \cdot \sin 2 x>0$
    For the quadratic equation
    Discriminant is
    $\begin{aligned} &(2 a)^{2}-4 \times 3(b+5 \sin 2 x)<0 \\ &4 a^{2}-12 b-60 \sin 2 x<0 \\ &a^{2}-3 b-15 \sin 2 x<0 \end{aligned}$
    $\because$ Minimum value of $\sin 2x=-1$
    So, $a^{2}-3 b-15(-1)<0$
    Thus, $a^{2}-3 b+15<0$
    So, a & b satisfy equation $a^{2}-3 b+15<0$

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 7

    Answer:

    Correct option (b)
    Hint: Use that, a function $f(x)$ is odd if $f(-x)=-f(x)$ & even if $f(-x)=f(x)$
    & If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$ , decreasing if ${f}'(x)<0$ .
    Given: $f(x)=\log _{e}\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=\log _{e}\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right) \ldots . .(\mathrm{i})$
    So, $f(-x)=\log _{e}\left((-x)^{3}+\sqrt{(-x)^{6}+1}\right)$
    $\begin{aligned} \therefore f(-x) &=\log _{e}\left((-x)^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right) \\ &=\log _{e}\left[\frac{\left(-x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)}{\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)} \times\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)\right] \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &=\log _{e}\left[\frac{1}{\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)}\right] \\ &=-\log _{e}\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right) \\ &=-f(x) \\ \because f(-x) &=-f(x) \end{aligned}$
    So, $f(x)$ is odd function
    Now,Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)} \times\left(3 x^{2}+\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x^{6}+1}} \times 6 x^{5}\right)$
    $\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{\left(x^{3}+\sqrt{x^{6}+1}\right)} \times 3 x^{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{x^{6}+1}}{\sqrt{x^{6}+1}}+x^{3}\right) \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{3 x^{2}}{\sqrt{x^{6}+1}} \end{aligned}$
    Here x2 & x6 are even power of x
    So, $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{3 x^{2}}{\sqrt{x^{6}+1}}>0$
    Thus,$f(x)$ is odd and increasing function.

    Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise Multiple choice question , question 8

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=2 \tan x+(2 a+1) \log _{e}|\sec x|+(a-2)$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=2 \tan x+(2 a+1) \log _{e}|\sec x|+(a-2)$ ………(i)
    Case i:
    If $\sec x>0$
    Now,Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=2 \sec ^{2} x+(2 a+1) \frac{1}{\sec x} \sec x \cdot \tan x+(a-2) \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=2 \sec ^{2} x+(2 a+1) \tan x+(a-2) \end{aligned}$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing, ${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 2 \sec ^{2} x+(2 a+1) \tan x+(a-2)>0 \\ &\Rightarrow 2\left(\tan ^{2} x+1\right)+(2 a+1) \tan x+(a-2)>0 \end{aligned}$
    $\Rightarrow 2 \tan ^{2} x+(2 a+1) \tan x+(a-2)>0$
    The above equation is quadratic in $\tan x$
    Its discriminant is
    $(2 a+1)^{2}-4 \times 2 a<0$
    $\Rightarrow(2 a-1)^{2}<0$ , which is impossible.
    Thus, if $\sec x <0$ then $\left | \sec x \right |=-\sec x$
    $\therefore 2 \sec ^{2} x-(2 a+1) \tan x+(a-2) \geq 0$
    $\Rightarrow(2 a-1)^{2} \leq 0$ , which is not possible
    $\begin{aligned} &\therefore(2 a-1)^{2}=0 \\ &\therefore a=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$

    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 10

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: Differentiate the given function w.r.t x then check the given conditions
    Given:$f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+15 x+3$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+15 x+3$
    Now,Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2}-12 x+15 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=3\left(x^{2}-4 x+5\right) \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=3\left[(x-2)^{2}+1\right]>0 \end{aligned}$
    Since $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)>0 \end{aligned}$ , so $\begin{aligned} &f(x) \end{aligned}$ is increasing function.
    As $\begin{aligned} &f(x) \end{aligned}$ is increasing, it is invertible
    Thus, $\begin{aligned} &f(x) \end{aligned}$ is invertible function.

    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 11

    Answer:

    Correct option (b)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=x^{2} e^{-x}$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{2} e^{-x}$
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=-x^{2} e^{-x}+x e^{-x} \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=-e^{-x} x(x-2) \end{aligned}$
    $f(x)$ is monotonically increasing,${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &-e^{-x} x(x-2)>0 \\ &x(x-2)>0 \end{aligned}$
    So, $0<x<2$
    Thus, $f(x)$ is monotonically increasing $0<x<2$

    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 12

    Answer:

    Correct option (a)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is decreasing function ${f}'(x)<0$
    Given:$f(x)=\cos x-2\lambda x$
    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=\cos x-2\lambda x$ …….(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    ${f}'(x)=-\sin x-2\lambda$
    $\because f(x)$ is decreasing ${f}'(x)<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\therefore-\sin x-2 \lambda<0 \\ &-\sin x<2 \lambda \\ &\frac{-\sin x}{2}<\lambda \end{aligned}$
    $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}<\lambda$
    Thus, $f(x)$ is monotonically decreasing when $\frac{1}{2}>\lambda$

    ${f}'(x)<0$ ,$f(x)$ is decreasing
    Given:$f(x)=2|x-1|+3|x-2|$
    Explanation: We need to check$f(x)$ in interval (1,2)
    Here, $f(x)=2|x-1|+3|x-2|$
    $\because x\epsilon (1,2)$ So, $x>1$ & $x<2$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow x-1>0 \& x-2<0 \\ &f(x)=2|x-1|+3|x-2| \\ &f(x)=2(x-1)+3(x-2) \\ &f(x)=2 x-2-3 x+6 \\ &f(x)=-x+4 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=-1<0 \end{aligned}$
    Thus, $f(x)$ is monotonically decreasing in the interval (1,2)

    Answer:

    Correct option (d)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is monotonically increasing function${f}'(x)\geq 0$

    Explanation: It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{3}-27x+5$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2}-27 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=3\left(x^{2}-9\right) \end{aligned}$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing ${f}'(x)\geq 0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 3\left(x^{2}-9\right) \geq 0 \\ &\Rightarrow x^{2}-9 \geq 0 \\ &\Rightarrow x^{2} \geq 9 \\ &\Rightarrow|x| \geq 3 \end{aligned}$
    Thus,$f(x)$ is increasing when $\left | x \right |\geq 3$

    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 15

    Answer:

    Correct option (d)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is decreasing function ${f}'(x)<0$
    Given: $f(x)=2 x^{3}-9 x^{2}+12 x+29$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=2 x^{3}-9 x^{2}+12 x+29$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    ${f}'(x)=6 x^{2}-18x+12$
    $f(x)$ is decreasing ${f}'(x)<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 6 x^{2}-18 x+12<0 \\ &\Rightarrow 6\left(x^{2}-3 x+2\right)<0 \\ &\Rightarrow x^{2}-3 x+2<0 \\ &\Rightarrow(x-1)(x-2)<0 \\ &\Rightarrow 1<x<2 \end{aligned}$
    Thus, the function is monotonically decreasing when $\begin{aligned} 1<x<2 \end{aligned}$

    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 16

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=k x^{3}-9 x^{2}+9 x+3$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=k x^{3}-9 x^{2}+9 x+3$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    ${f}'(x)=3 k x^{2}-18 x+9$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing ${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &3 k x^{2}-18 x+9>0 \\ &k x^{2}-6 x+3>0 \end{aligned}$
    If $a>0\Rightarrow b^{2}-4ac<0$
    So, $(-6)^{2}-4.k.3<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &36-12 k<0 \\ &3-k<0 \\ &k>3 \end{aligned}$
    Thus, the function is monotonic increasing if $k>3$


    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 17

    Answer:

    Correct option (c)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is monotonic increasing function then ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=2 x-\tan ^{-1}-\log \left(x+\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\right)$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=2 x-\tan ^{-1}-\log \left(x+\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\right)$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=2-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}-\frac{1}{x+\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}\left(1+\frac{2 x}{2 \sqrt{x^{2}+1}}\right) \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=2-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}} \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1+2 x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}} \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1+2 x^{2}-\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}{1+x^{2}} \end{aligned}$
    $\because f(x)$ is monotonic increasing then ${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\frac{1+2 x^{2}-\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}{1+x^{2}}>0 \\ &\Rightarrow 1+2 x^{2}-\sqrt{x^{2}+1}>0 \\ &\Rightarrow 1+2 x^{2}>\sqrt{x^{2}+1} \end{aligned}$
    Squaring on both sides, we get
    $\left(1+2 x^{2}\right)^{2}>x^{2}+1$
    $\begin{aligned} &1+4 x^{2}+4 x^{4}>x^{2}+1 \\ &\therefore 3 x^{2}+4 x^{4}>0 \forall x \in R \end{aligned}$
    Thus, the function is monotonically increasing when $\begin{aligned} x \in R \end{aligned}$


    Increasing and decreasing functions exercise multiple choice quection, question 18

    Answer:

    Correct option (d)
    Hint: Take 3 conditions $x<0, x>1 \& 0<x<1$ and check whether the function is increasing
    Given:$f(x)=|x|-|x-1|$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=|x|-|x-1|$
    Case (i): If $x<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &|x|=-x \&|x-1|=-(x-1) \\ &\Rightarrow f(x)=-x+x-1=-1 \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=0 \end{aligned}$
    So, the function is not monotonically increasing when $x<0$
    Case (ii): If $x>1$
    So,
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f(x)=1 \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=0 \end{aligned}$
    Thus,$f(x)$ is not increasing when $x>1$
    Case (iii): If $0<x<1$
    If $0<x<1$ then $|x|=x \&|x-1|=-(x-1)$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f(x)=x+x-1=2 x-1 \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=2 \end{aligned}$
    So, the function is monotonically increasing when $0<x<1$

    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x+2 a$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing function, ${f}'(x)\geq 0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow-\sin x+2 a \geq 0 \\ &\Rightarrow \sin x \geq 2 a \end{aligned}$
    $\because$ Minimum value $\sin x$ of is -1
    $\therefore \frac{-1}{2} \geq a$

    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow|x|=x \\ &\therefore f(x)=\left(\frac{x}{1+x}\right) \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\left(\frac{x}{1+x}\right)^{2}>0 \end{aligned}$
    So, function is increasing .
    Hence, the given function is strictly increasing.

    Answer:

    Correct option (b)
    Hint: If $f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    Given: $f(x)=\log _{a} x$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=\log _{a} x$
    $\Rightarrow a^{f(x)}=x$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow a^{f(x)} \cdot \log a \cdot f^{\prime}(x)=1 \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{a^{f(x)} \cdot \log a} \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{x \log a} \end{aligned}$

    Since the function is increasing on R

    $\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{x \log a}>0 \\ &\Rightarrow a>1 \end{aligned}$
    Thus the function is increasing if $\begin{aligned} & a>1 \end{aligned}$

    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $Q^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)-f^{\prime}(2 a-x)$
    Since $f^{\prime}(x)>0 \Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x)>0$
    Here $x\epsilon \left [ 0,a \right ]$
    $\begin{aligned} &x \leq 2 a-x \\ &f^{\prime}(x) \leq f^{\prime}(2 a-x) \end{aligned}$
    Also, $Q^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)-f^{\prime}(2 a-x)$

    Answer:

    Correct option (b)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    Given:$f(x)=x^{2}-k x+5$

    $f(x)=x^{2}-k x+5$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    ${f}'(x)=2x-k$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing,${f}'(x)>0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 2 x-k>0 \\ &\Rightarrow 2 x>k \\ &\because x \in[2,4] \end{aligned}$
    So, Maximum value of k is 4
    $k \in(-\infty, 4)$
    Thus if the function is increasing then $k \in(-\infty, 4)$


    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 28

    Answer:

    Correct option (a)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function${f}'(x)>0$
    And if $f(x)$ is increasing function then ${f}'(x)<0$
    Given: $f(x)=\frac{-x}{2}+\sin x$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=\frac{-x}{2}+\sin x$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{-1}{2}+\cos x$
    Since $\because x \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)>0 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{2}+\cos x>0 \end{aligned}$
    Thus function is increasing.

    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 29

    Answer:

    Correct option (a)
    Hint: If$f(x)$ is increasing function ${f}'(x)>0$
    Given:$f(x)=x^{3}-9 k x^{2}+27 x+30$
    Explanation:It is given that
    $f(x)=x^{3}-9 k x^{2}+27 x+30$ …..(i)
    Differentiate (i) w.r.t x
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2}-9 k \cdot 2 x+27 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=3\left(x^{2}-6 k x+9\right) \end{aligned}$
    $\because f(x)$ is increasing
    $\begin{aligned} &3\left(x^{2}-6 k x+9\right)>0 \\ &x^{2}-6 k x+9>0 \end{aligned}$
    In $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ , if $a>0$ then$b^{2}-4 a c<0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow(-6 k)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 9<0 \\ &36 k^{2}-36<0 \\ &k^{2}-1<0 \\ &(k+1)(k-1)<0 \\ &\Rightarrow-1<k<1 \end{aligned}$
    Thus , if $f(x)$ is increasing function then $-1\leq k< 1$
    Note:- option (a) has to be $-1\leq k< 1$

    Thus, the given function is increasing on R

    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 31

    Answer:

    $[-2,-1]$ , Correct option (b)
    Hints: Take a derivative of given equation
    Given: The interval on which $f(x)=2 x^{3}+9 x^{2}+12 x-1$ is decreasing, is
    Solution:
    We have,
    $f(x)=2 x^{3}+9 x^{2}+12 x-1$
    $\begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) &=6 x^{2}+18 x+12 \\ &=6\left(x^{2}+3 x+2\right) \\ &=6(x+2)(x+1) \end{aligned}$

    $\begin{aligned} &y=x\left(x^{2}-6 x+9\right) \\ &y=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+9 x \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} &=3 \mathrm{x}^{2}-12 \mathrm{x}+9 \\ \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} &=3\left(\mathrm{x}^{2}-4 \mathrm{x}+3\right) \\ &=3(\mathrm{x}-3)(\mathrm{x}-1) \end{aligned}$
    Y = f(x) decreases when $\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}<0 \end{aligned}$
    The sign scheme of $\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} \end{aligned}$ is shown,

    ∴ f’(x) =
    From the sign scheme $\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}<0 \end{aligned}$
    For $x\epsilon (1,3)$
    $y=x(x-3)^{2}$ decreases when $x\epsilon 1<x<3$

    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 33

    Answer:

    decreasing in $\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )$
    Hints: Find the derivative of given equation.
    Given: $f(x)=4 \sin ^{3} x-6 \sin ^{2} x+12 \sin x+100$
    Solution: We have,
    $f(x)=4 \sin ^{3} x-6 \sin ^{2} x+12 \sin x+100$
    $\begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) &=12 \sin ^{2} x \cos x-12 \sin x \cos x+12 \cos x \\ &=12 \cos x\left[\sin ^{2} x-\sin x+1\right] \\ &=12 \cos x\left[\sin ^{2} x+(1-\sin x)\right] \end{aligned}$

    Now $1-\sin x \geq 0$ and $\sin^{2} x \geq 0$
    $\sin ^{2} x+1-\sin x \geq 0$
    Hence, $f'{x}>0$ when $\cos x>0$ , i.e., $x\epsilon \left ( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    So, $f(x)$ is increasing when $x\epsilon \left ( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    $f'{x}<0$ , when $\cos x>0$ , i.e., $x\epsilon \left ( \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right )$
    Hence, $f(x)$ is decreasing when $x\epsilon \left ( \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right )$
    f(x) is decreasing in $x\epsilon \left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right )$

    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 34

    Answer:

    $\cos x$ , Option (c)
    Hints: Check all the options and choose is satisfies
    Given: Function is decreasing in $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    Solution:
    Option (A)
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\sin 2 x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=2 \cos 2 x \end{aligned}$
    $f(x)$ increases from ‘0’ to ‘1’ in $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    Option (B)
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\tan x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\sec ^{2} x \end{aligned}$
    In interval $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$ , $f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x<0$
    $f(x)=\cos x$ is strictly increasing in interval $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    Option (C)
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\cos x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x \end{aligned}$
    In interval $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x<0$
    $f(x)=\cos x$ is strictly decreasing in $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    Option (D)
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\cos 3 x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=-3 \sin 3 x \end{aligned}$
    Now,
    $\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=0 \\ &\sin 3 x=0 \\ &3 x=\pi \end{aligned}$
    As $x\epsilon \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$
    $x=\frac{\pi}{3}$
    $f(x)=\cos 3 x$ is decreases only when $3 x \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
    And $x \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
    Therefore, Option (C) =cos x satisfies because $f(x)=\cos x$ is strictly decreasing in $\left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right )$


    Increasing and decreasing function exercise multiple choice question, question 35

    Answer:

    Always increases (Option a)
    Hints: Find the derivative of functions
    Given: $f(x)=\tan x-x$
    Solution:
    We have, $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\tan x-x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\sec ^{2} x-1>0 \end{aligned}$
    Or
    $\begin{aligned} &\sec ^{2} x>1 \end{aligned}$
    Now
    $\begin{aligned} &\cos x \in[-1,1] \\ &\sec x \in(-\infty,-1] \cup[1, \infty) \end{aligned}$
    Thus,
    $\sec ^{2} x \in[1, \infty)$
    Hence,
    $f^{\prime}(x)>0 \forall x$
    Function $f(x)=\tan x-x$ is always increasing.
