Exercise 17.1
Question 1.

Prove that the function f(x) = loge x is increasing on (0, ∞).


Answer:

let x1,x2 (0,)

We have, x1<x2


⇒ loge x1 < loge x2


⇒ f(x1) < f(x2)


So, f(x) is increasing in (0,)



Question 2.

Prove that the function f(x) = loga x is increasing on (0, ∞) if a > 1 and decresing on (0, ∞), if 0 < a < 1.


Answer:

case I

When a > 1


let x1,x2 (0,)


We have, x1<x2


⇒ loge x1 < loge x2


⇒ f(x1) < f(x2)


So, f(x) is increasing in (0,)


case II


When 0 < a < 1


f(x) = loga x


when a<1 log a < 0


let x1<x2


⇒ log x1 < log x2


[]


⇒ f(x1) > f(x2)


So, f(x) is decreasing in (0,)



Question 3.

Prove that f(x) = ax + b, where a, b are constants and a > 0 is an increasing function on R.


Answer:

we have,

f(x) = ax + b, a > 0


let x1,x2 R and x1 > x2


⇒ ax1 > ax2 for some a > 0


⇒ ax1 + b> ax2 + b for some b


⇒ f(x1) > f(x2)


Hence, x1 > x2⇒ f(x1) > f(x2)


So, f(x) is increasing function of R



Question 4.

Prove that f(x) = ax + b, where a, b are constants and a < 0 is a decreasing function on R.


Answer:

we have,

f(x) = ax + b, a < 0


let x1,x2 R and x1 > x2


⇒ ax1 < ax2 for some a > 0


⇒ ax1 + b< ax2 + b for some b


⇒ f(x1) < f(x2)


Hence, x1 > x2⇒ f(x1) < f(x2)


So, f(x) is decreasing function of R



Question 5.

Show that is a decreasing function on (0, ∞).


Answer:

we have


let x1,x2 (0,) We have, x1 > x2



⇒ f(x1) < f(x2)

Exercise 17.2
Question 1.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

f(x) = 10 – 6x – 2x2


Answer:

Given:- Function f(x) = 10 – 6x – 2x2


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a, b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain, it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = 10 – 6x – 2x2



⇒ f’(x) = –6 – 4x


For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0


⇒ –6 –4x > 0


⇒ –4x > 6





Thus f(x) is increasing on the interval


Again, For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0


⇒ –6 –4x < 0


⇒ –4x < 6





Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval



Question 2.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.



Answer:

Given:- Function


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,




⇒ f’(x) = 6x3 – 12x2 – 90x


⇒ f’(x) = 6x(x2 – 2x – 15)


⇒ f’(x) = 6x(x2 – 5x + 3x – 15)


⇒ f’(x) = 6x(x – 5)(x + 3)


For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0


⇒ 6x(x – 5)(x + 3)> 0


⇒ x(x – 5)(x + 3) > 0


⇒ –3 < x < 0 or 5 < x < ∞


⇒ x ∈ (–3,0)∪(5, ∞)


Thus f(x) is increasing on interval (–3,0)∪(5, ∞)


Again, For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0


⇒ 6x(x – 5)(x + 3)> 0


⇒ x(x – 5)(x + 3) > 0


⇒ –∞ < x < –3 or 0 < x < 5


⇒ x ∈ (–∞, –3)∪(0, 5)


Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval (–∞, –3)∪(0, 5)



Question 3.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

f(x) = x2 + 2x – 5


Answer:

Given:- Function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 5


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain, it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = x2 + 2x – 5



⇒ f’(x) = 2x + 2


For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0


⇒ 2x + 2 > 0


⇒ 2x < –2



⇒ x < –1


⇒ x ∈ (–∞,–1)


Thus f(x) is increasing on interval (–∞,–1)


Again, For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0


⇒ 2x + 2 < 0


⇒ 2x > –2



⇒ x> –1


⇒ x ∈ (–1,∞)


Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval x ∈ (–1, ∞)



Question 4.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.



Answer:

Given:- Function


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,









For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0



⇒ (x – 2) > 0


⇒ 2 < x < ∞


⇒ x ∈ (2, ∞)


Thus f(x) is increasing on interval (2, ∞)


Again, For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0



⇒ (x – 2) < 0


⇒ –∞ < x < 2


⇒ x ∈ (–∞, 2)


Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval (–∞, 2)



Question 5.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

f(x) = 6 – 9x – x2


Answer:

Given:- Function f(x) = 6 – 9x – x2


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = 6 – 9x – x2



⇒ f’(x) = –9 – 2x


For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0


⇒ –9 – 2x > 0


⇒ –2x > 9





Thus f(x) is increasing on interval


Again, For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0


⇒ –9 – 2x < 0


⇒ –2x < 9





Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval



Question 6.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

f(x) = 2x3 – 12x2 + 18x + 15


Answer:

Given:- Function f(x) = 2x3 – 12x2 + 18x + 15


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a, b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = 2x3 – 12x2 + 18x + 15



⇒ f’(x) = 6x2 – 24x + 18


For f(x) lets find critical point, we must have


⇒ f’(x) = 0


⇒ 6x2 – 24x + 18 = 0


⇒ 6(x2 – 4x + 3) = 0


⇒ 6(x2 – 3x – x + 3) = 0


⇒ 6(x – 3)(x – 1) = 0


⇒ (x – 3)(x – 1) = 0


⇒ x = 3 , 1





clearly, f’(x) > 0 if x < 1 and x > 3


and f’(x) < 0 if 1< x < 3


Thus, f(x) increases on (–∞,1) ∪ (3, ∞)


and f(x) is decreasing on interval x ∈ (1,3)




Question 7.

Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.

f(x) = 5 + 36x + 3x2 – 2x3


Answer:

Given:- Function f(x) = 5 + 36x + 3x2 – 2x3


Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = 5 + 36x + 3x2 – 2x3



⇒ f’(x) = 36 + 6x – 6x2


For f(x) lets find critical point, we must have


⇒ f’(x) = 0


⇒ 36 + 6x – 6x2 = 0


⇒ 6(–x2 + x + 6) = 0


⇒ 6(–x2 + 3x – 2x + 6) = 0


⇒ –x2 + 3x – 2x + 6 = 0


⇒ x2 – 3x + 2x – 6 = 0


⇒ (x – 3)(x + 2) = 0


⇒ x = 3 , – 2





clearly, f’(x) > 0 if –2< x < 3


and f’(x) < 0 if x < –2 and x > 3


Thus, f(x) increases on x ∈ (–2,3)


and f(x) is decreasing on interval (–∞,–2) ∪ (3, ∞)




Question 8.

f(x) = 8 + 36x + 3x2 – 2x3

(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)

Lets consider interval (–∞, –2)


In this case, we have x – 1 < 0, x + 2 < 0 and x – 3 < 0


Therefore, f’(x) < 0 when –∞ < x < –2


Thus, f(x) is strictly decreasing on interval x ∈ (–∞, –2)


consider interval (–2, 1)


In this case, we have x – 1 < 0, x + 2 > 0 and x – 3 < 0


Therefore, f’(x) > 0 when –2 < x < 1


Thus, f(x) is strictly increases on interval x ∈ (–2, 1)


Now, consider interval (1, 3)


In this case, we have x – 1 > 0, x + 2 > 0 and x – 3 < 0


Therefore, f’(x) < 0 when 1 < x < 3

⇒ x3 + 2x2 – 5x – 6 = 0


⇒ (x+1)(x – 2)(x + 3) = 0


⇒ x = –1, 2 , –3





clearly, f’(x) > 0 if –3 < x < –1 and x > 2

clearly, f’(x) > 0 if 0 < x < 1 and x > 2

Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-

(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x + 15



⇒ f’(x) = 3x2 – 12x + 9


For f(x) lets find critical point, we must have


⇒ f’(x) = 0


⇒ 3x2 – 12x + 9 = 0


⇒ 3(x2 – 4x + 3) = 0


⇒ 3(x2 – 3x – x + 3) = 0


⇒ x2 – 3x – x + 3 = 0


⇒ (x – 3)(x – 1) = 0


⇒ x = 1, 3





clearly, f’(x) > 0 if x < 1 and x > 3


and f’(x) < 0 if 1 < x < 3


Thus, f(x) increases on (–∞, 1) ∪ (3, ∞)

Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).


(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)


Algorithm:-


(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)


(ii) Find f’(x)


(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x)= {x (x – 2)}2


⇒ f(x)= {[x2–2x]}2



⇒ f’(x)= 2(x2–2x)(2x–2)


⇒ f’(x)= 4x(x–2)(x–1)


For f(x) lets find critical point, we must have


⇒ f’(x) = 0


⇒ 4x(x–2)(x–1)= 0


⇒ x(x–2)(x–1)= 0


⇒ x =0, 1, 2





Now, lets check values of f(x) between different ranges


Here points x = 0, 1, 2 divide the number line into disjoint intervals namely, (–∞, 0),(0, 1), (1, 2) and (2, ∞)


Lets consider interval (–∞, 0) and (1, 2)


In this case, we have x(x–2)(x–1)< 0


Therefore, f’(x) < 0 when x < 0 and 1< x < 2


Thus, f(x) is strictly decreasing on interval (–∞, 0)∪(1, 2)


Now, consider interval (0, 1) and (2, ∞)


In this case, we have x(x–2)(x–1)> 0


Therefore, f’(x) > 0 when 0< x < 1 and x < 2


Thus, f(x) is strictly increases on interval (0, 1)∪(2, ∞)

(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.


For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.


Here we have,


f(x) = 3x4 – 4x3 – 12x2 + 5



⇒ f’(x) = 12x3 – 12x2 – 24x


⇒ f’(x) = 12x(x2 – x – 2)


For f(x) to be increasing, we must have


⇒ f’(x) > 0


⇒ 12x(x2 – x – 2)> 0


⇒ x(x2 – 2x + x – 2) > 0


⇒ x(x – 2)(x + 1) > 0


⇒ –1 < x < 0 and x > 2


⇒ x ∈ (–1,0)∪(2, ∞)


Thus f(x) is increasing on interval (–1,0)∪(2, ∞)


Again, For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have


f’(x) < 0


⇒ 12x(x2 – x – 2)< 0


⇒ x(x2 – 2x + x – 2) < 0


⇒ x(x – 2)(x + 1) < 0


⇒ –∞ < x < –1 and 0 < x < 2


⇒ x ∈ (–∞, –1) ∪ (0, 2)


Thus f(x) is decreasing on interval (–∞, –1) ∪ (0, 2)

Here we have,


f(x) = x2 – 6x + 9

⇒ f’(x) = 2(x – 3)


For f(x) lets find critical point, we must have


⇒ f’(x) = 0


⇒ 2(x – 3) = 0


⇒ (x – 3) = 0


⇒ x = 3





clearly, f’(x) > 0 if x > 3


and f’(x) < 0 if x < 3


Thus, f(x) increases on (3, ∞)


and f(x) is decreasing on interval x ∈ (–∞, 3)


Now, lets find coordinates of point


Equation of curve is


f(x) = x2 – 6x + 9


slope of this curve is given by




⇒ m1 = 2x – 6


and Equation of line is


y = x + 5


slope of this curve is given by




⇒ m2 = 1


Since slope of curve (i.e slope of its normal) is parallel to line


Therefore, they follow the relation




⇒ 2x – 6 = –1



Thus putting the value of x in equation of curve, we get


⇒ y = x2 – 6x + 9






Thus the required coordinates is )

let us now apply LMVT (as function is twice differentiable) for point c and x [0,1],


hence,


f ”(d)

ii. f(x) = sin x + |sin x|, 0 < x ≤ 2 π

iii. f(x) = sin x (1 + cos x), 0 < x < π/2


Answer:

(i): Consider the given function,

f(x) = x |x|, x ϵ R




⇒ f> 0


Therefore, f(x) is an increasing function for all real values.


(ii): Consider the given function,


f(x) = sin x +|sin x|, 0< x 2




The function 2cos x will be positive between (0,)


Hence the function f(x) is increasing in the interval (0,)


The function 2cos x will be negative between ()


Hence the function f(x) is decreasing in the interval ()


The value of f= 0, when,


Therefore, the function f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in the interval ()


(iii): consider the function,


f(x) = sin x(1 + cos x), 0 < x <


⇒ f ’(x) = cos x + sin x( – sin x ) + cos x ( cos x )


⇒ f ’(x) = cos x – sin2 x + cos2 x


⇒ f ’(x) = cos x + (cos2 x – 1) + cos2 x


⇒ f ’(x) = cos x + 2 cos2 x – 1


⇒ f ’(x)=(2cos x – 1)(cos x + 1)


for f(x) to be increasing, we must have,


f’(x)> 0


⇒ f )=(2


⇒ 0 < x<


So, f(x) to be decreasing, we must have,


f< 0


⇒ f )=(2cos x – 1)(cos x + 1)


< x <


⇒ x,


So,f(x) is decreasing in ,

Question 26.

Mark the correct alternative in the following:

Let ϕ(x) = f(x) + f(2a – x) and f’’(x) > 0 for all xϵ[0, a]. The, ϕ(x)

A. increases on [0, a]

B. decreases on [0, a]

C. increases on [–a, 0]

D. decreases on [a, 2a]


Answer:

Formula:- (i) The necessary and sufficient condition for differentiable function defined on (a,b) to be strictly increasing on (a, b) is that f’(x)>0 for all x(a,b)


ϕ(x) = f(x) + f(2a – x)


ϕ’(x) = f’(x)-f’(2a – x)
