If a function is continuous and differentiable and f(0) = f(1) in given domain x ∈ [0, 1],
then by Rolle's Theorem;
f'(x) = 0 for some x ∈ [0, 1]

Since, f''(x) > 0, f'(x) is an increasing function.

Now,

when

#### Question 31:

The interval on which the function f(x) = 2x3 + 9x2 + 12x - 1 is decreasing is
(a) [-1, ∞)            (b) [-2, -1]             (c) (∞, -2]               (d) [-1, 1]

$f\left(x\right)=2{x}^{3}+9{x}^{2}+12x-1$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=6{x}^{2}+18x+12$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=6\left({x}^{2}+3x+2\right)$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=6\left(x+2\right)\left(x+1\right)$

For f(x) to be decreasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$

$⇒6\left(x+2\right)\left(x+1\right)<0$

$⇒\left[x-\left(-2\right)\right]\left[x-\left(-1\right)\right]<0$

$⇒-2         [For a < b, if (xa)(xb) < 0 ⇒ a < x < b]

Thus, the interval on which the given function f(x) is decreasing is [−2, −1].

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

#### Question 32:

(a) 1 < x < 3                (b) x < 0                (c) x > 0                    (d) 0 < x$\frac{3}{2}$

yx(x − 3)2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$\frac{dy}{dx}=x×2\left(x-3\right)+{\left(x-3\right)}^{2}×1$

$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\left(x-3\right)\left(2x+x-3\right)$

$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\left(x-3\right)\left(3x-3\right)$

$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=3\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)$

For y to be decreasing,

$\frac{dy}{dx}<0$

$⇒3\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)<0$

$⇒\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)<0$

$⇒1                  [For a < b, if (x − a)(x − b) < 0 ⇒ axb]

Thus, y decreases for 1 < x < 3.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

#### Question 33:

The function f(x) = 4sin3x - 6sin2x + 12sin x + 100 is strictly
(a) increasing in                           (b) decreasing in $\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\mathrm{\pi }\right)$
(c) decreasing in $\left[-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$                      (d) decreasing in $\left[0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$

The given function is f(x) = 4sin3x − 6sin2x + 12sinx + 100.

f(x) = 4sin3x − 6sin2x + 12sinx + 100

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=4×3{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x×\mathrm{cos}x-6×2\mathrm{sin}x×\mathrm{cos}x+12\mathrm{cos}x$

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=12{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x\mathrm{cos}x-12\mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{cos}x+12\mathrm{cos}x$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=12\mathrm{cos}x\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x-\mathrm{sin}x+1\right)$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=12\mathrm{cos}x\left[{\left(\mathrm{sin}x-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{2}+\frac{3}{4}\right]$

Now,

${\left(\mathrm{sin}x-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{2}+\frac{3}{4}>0$x ∈ R

When $x\in \left[-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$, cosx ≥ 0

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)\ge 0$

So, f(x) is increasing in $\left[-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$.

When $x\in \left[0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$, cosx ≥ 0

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)\ge 0$

So, f(x) is increasing in $\left[0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right]$.

When , cosx ≤ 0

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)\le 0$

So, f(x) is decreasing in .

When $x\in \left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\mathrm{\pi }\right)$, cosx < 0

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$

So, f(x) is strictly decreasing in $\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\mathrm{\pi }\right)$.

Thus, the function f(x) = 4sin3x − 6sin2x + 12sin x + 100 is strictly decreasing in $\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2},\mathrm{\pi }\right)$.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

#### Question 34:

Which of the following functions is decreasing in $\left(0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right)$?
(a) sin 2x          (b) tan x              (c) cos x            (d) cos 3x

Let f(x) = sin2x

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)=2\mathrm{cos}2x$

$0    (Given)

$⇒0<2x<\mathrm{\pi }$

Now, cos2x > 0 when $0<2x<\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$ and cos2x < 0 when $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}<2x<\mathrm{\pi }$.

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$ when $0 and $f\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$ when $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}

f(x) is increasing when $0 and f(x) is decreasing when $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}

Thus, f(x) = sin2x is both increasing and decreasing in the interval $\left(0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right)$.

Let g(x) = tanx

$\therefore g\text{'}\left(x\right)={\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x$

Now, sec2x > 0 when $0

$⇒g\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$ when $0

⇒ g(x) = tanx is increasing when $0

Let h(x) = cosx

$\therefore h\text{'}\left(x\right)=-\mathrm{sin}x$

Now, sinx > 0 when $0

$⇒h\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$ when $0

⇒ h(x) = cosx is decreasing when $0

Let p(x) = cos3x

$\therefore p\text{'}\left(x\right)=-3\mathrm{sin}3x$

$0    (Given)

$⇒0<3x<\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$

Now, sin3x > 0 when $0<3x<\mathrm{\pi }$ and sin3x < 0 when $\mathrm{\pi }<3x<\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$.

$⇒p\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$ when $0 and $p\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$ when $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}

p(x) is decreasing when $0 and p(x) is increasing when $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}

p(x) = cos3x is both increasing and decreasing in the interval $\left(0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right)$.

Thus, the function cosx is decreasing in $\left(0,\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right)$.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

#### Question 35:

The function f(x) = tan x - x
(a) always increases                    (b) always decreases
(c) never increases                      (d) sometimes increases sometime decreases

The given function is $f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{tan}x-x$.

$f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{tan}x-x$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)={\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x-1$

We know

$\mathrm{sec}x\in \left(-\infty ,-1\right]\cup \left[1,\infty \right)$

$⇒{\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x\in \left[1,\infty \right)$

Or sec2x ≥ 1 for all real values of x

f(x) is increasing for all x ∈ R

Thus, the function f(x) always increases for all real values of x.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

#### Question 1:

The values of 'a' for which the function f(x) = sin x ax + b increases on R are _______________.

The given function is f(x) = sinx ax + b.

f(x) = sinx ax + b

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\mathrm{cos}x-a$

It is given that, f(x) increases on R.

$\therefore f\text{'}\left(x\right)\ge 0$x ∈ R

$⇒\mathrm{cos}x-a\ge 0$x ∈ R

$⇒a\le \mathrm{cos}x$x ∈ R

a ∈ (−∞, −1]

Thus, the values of 'a' for which the function f(x) = sin x ax + b increases on R are (−∞, −1].

The values of 'a' for which the function f(x) = sin x ax + b increases on R are ___(−∞, −1]___.

#### Question 2:

The function f(x) = $\frac{2{x}^{2}-1}{{x}^{4}},$ x > 0, decreases in the interval ________________.

The given function is .

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{2{x}^{2}-1}{{x}^{4}}$

$⇒f\left(x\right)=\frac{2}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{x}^{4}}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=-\frac{4}{{x}^{3}}+\frac{4}{{x}^{5}}$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=-4\left(\frac{{x}^{2}-1}{{x}^{5}}\right)$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{-4\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{{x}^{5}}$

For f(x) to be decreasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$

$⇒\frac{-4\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{{x}^{5}}<0$

$⇒\left[x-\left(-1\right)\right]\left(x-1\right)>0$

$⇒x\in \left(-\infty ,-1\right)\cup \left(1,\infty \right)$          [For ab, if (x − a)(x − b) > 0 ⇒ x ∈ (−∞, a) ∪ (b, ∞)]

But, x > 0       (Given)

∴ x ∈ (1, ∞)

Thus, the given function f(x) decreases in the interval (1, ∞).

The function f(x) = $\frac{2{x}^{2}-1}{{x}^{4}},$ x > 0, decreases in the interval ____(1, ∞)____.

#### Question 3:

The function g(x) = x$\frac{1}{x},x\ne 0$ decreases in the closed interval ____________________.

The given function is .

$g\left(x\right)=x+\frac{1}{x}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$g\text{'}\left(x\right)=1-\frac{1}{{x}^{2}}$

For g(x) to be decreasing,

$g\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$

$⇒1-\frac{1}{{x}^{2}}<0$

$⇒\frac{{x}^{2}-1}{{x}^{2}}<0$

$⇒\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)<0$

$⇒\left[x-\left(-1\right)\right]\left(x-1\right)<0$                 [For ab, if (x − a)(x − b) < 0 ⇒ axb]

$⇒-1

∴ x ∈ (−1, 1)

Thus, the given function g(x) decreases in the interval (−1, 1).

The function g(x) = x + $\frac{1}{x},x\ne 0$ decreases in the closed interval _____[−1, 1]_____.

#### Question 4:

The largest open interval in which the function f(x) = $\frac{1}{1+{x}^{2}}$ decreases is _______________.

The given function is $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{1+{x}^{2}}$.

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{1+{x}^{2}}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=-\frac{2x}{{\left(1+{x}^{2}\right)}^{2}}$

For f(x) to be decreasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)<0$

$⇒-\frac{2x}{{\left(1+{x}^{2}\right)}^{2}}<0$

$⇒x>0$

∴ x ∈ (0, ∞)

Thus, the largest open interval in which the given function f(x) decreases is (0, ∞).

The largest open interval in which the function f(x) = $\frac{1}{1+{x}^{2}}$ decreases is ____(0, ∞)____.

#### Question 5:

The set of values of x for which f(x) = tan x - x is increasing is _______________.

The given function is $f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{tan}x-x$.

$f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{tan}x-x$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)={\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x-1$

For f(x) to be increasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$

$⇒{\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x-1>0$

$⇒{\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x>1$

We know

$\mathrm{sec}x\in \left(-\infty ,-1\right]\cup \left[1,\infty \right)$

$⇒{\mathrm{sec}}^{2}x\in \left[1,\infty \right)$

Or sec2x ≥ 1 for all real values of x

Thus, the set of values of x for which f(x) is increasing is the set of all real numbers i.e. R.

The set of values of x for which f(x) = tan x − x is increasing is ___the set of all real numbers i.e. R___.

#### Question 6:

The set of values of  'a' for which the function f(x) = sin x - cos x - ax + b decreases for all the real values of x, is ___________.

The given function is f(x) = sin x − cos x ax + b.

f(x) = sin x − cos  ax + b

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\mathrm{cos}x-\left(-\mathrm{sin}x\right)-a$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\mathrm{cos}x+\mathrm{sin}x-a$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\sqrt{2}\left(\mathrm{cos}x×\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\mathrm{sin}x×\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)-a$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\sqrt{2}\left(\mathrm{cos}x\mathrm{cos}\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}+\mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{sin}\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)-a$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\sqrt{2}\mathrm{cos}\left(x-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)-a$

For f(x) to be decreasing for all x,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)\le 0$

$⇒\sqrt{2}\mathrm{cos}\left(x-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)-a\le 0$

$⇒a\ge \sqrt{2}\mathrm{cos}\left(x-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)$

$\therefore a\in \left[\sqrt{2},\infty \right)$

Thus, the set of values of  'a' for which the given function f(x) decreases for all the real values of x is $\left[\sqrt{2},\infty \right)$.

The set of values of  'a' for which the function f(x) = sin x − cos x ax + b decreases for all the real values of x, is .

#### Question 7:

The set of values of  'a' for which the function f(x) = ax + b is strictly increasing for all real x, is _______________.

The given function is f(x) = ax + b.

f(x) = ax + b

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=a$

For f(x) to be strictly increasing for all real x,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$

$⇒a>0$

$\therefore a\in \left(0,\infty \right)$

Thus, the set of values of 'a' for which the function f(x) = ax + b is strictly increasing for all real x is (0, ∞).

The set of values of  'a' for which the function f(x) = ax + b is strictly increasing for all real x, is ____(0, ∞)____.

#### Question 8:

If kπ is the length of the largest interval in which the function f(x) = 3sin x - 4sin3x is increasing, then k = _________________.

The given function is f(x) = 3sin x − 4sin3x.

f(x) = 3sin x − 4sin3x = sin3x

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=3\mathrm{cos}3x$

For f(x) to be increasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)\ge 0$

$⇒3\mathrm{cos}3x\ge 0$

$⇒\mathrm{cos}3x\ge 0$

$⇒-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\le 3x\le \frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$

$⇒-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\le x\le \frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}$

∴ Length of the largest interval in which the given function f(x) is increasing = $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}-\left(-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\right)=\frac{2\mathrm{\pi }}{6}=\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$

It is given that, the length of the largest interval in which the function f(x) = 3sin x − 4sin3x is increasing is k$\mathrm{\pi }$.

$\therefore k\mathrm{\pi }=\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$

$⇒k=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the value of k is $\frac{1}{3}$.

If kπ is the length of the largest interval in which the function f(x) = 3sin x − 4sin3x is increasing, then k = .

#### Question 9:

The set of values of λ for which the function f(x) = $\frac{\lambda \mathrm{sin}x+6\mathrm{cos}x}{2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x}$ is strictly increasing, is ___________________.

The given function is $f\left(x\right)=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{sin}x+6\mathrm{cos}x}{2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x}$.

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{sin}x+6\mathrm{cos}x}{2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)×\left(\lambda \mathrm{cos}x-6\mathrm{sin}x\right)-\left(\lambda \mathrm{sin}x+6\mathrm{cos}x\right)×\left(2\mathrm{cos}x-3\mathrm{sin}x\right)}{{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)}^{2}}$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{2\lambda \mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{cos}x-12{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x+3\lambda {\mathrm{cos}}^{2}x-18\mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{cos}x-2\lambda \mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{cos}x+3\lambda {\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x-12{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}x+18\mathrm{sin}x\mathrm{cos}x}{{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)}^{2}}$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{3\lambda \left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x+{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}x\right)-12\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x+{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}x\right)}{{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)}^{2}}$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{3\lambda -12}{{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)}^{2}}$         [sin2x + cos2x = 1]

For f(x) to be strictly increasing,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$

$⇒\frac{3\lambda -12}{{\left(2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x\right)}^{2}}>0$

$⇒3\lambda >12$

$⇒\lambda >4$

Thus, the set of values of λ for which the function f(x) is strictly increasing is (4, ∞).

The set of values of λ for which the function f(x) = $\frac{\lambda \mathrm{sin}x+6\mathrm{cos}x}{2\mathrm{sin}x+3\mathrm{cos}x}$ is strictly increasing, is ____(4, ∞)____.

#### Question 10:

The largest interval in which f(x) = x1/x is strictly increasing is ______________.

The given function is $f\left(x\right)={x}^{\frac{1}{x}}$.

For f(x) to be defined x > 0.

$f\left(x\right)={x}^{\frac{1}{x}}$

$⇒\mathrm{log}f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{log}{x}^{\frac{1}{x}}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$\frac{1}{f\left(x\right)}×f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{x×\frac{1}{x}-\mathrm{log}x×1}{{x}^{2}}$

$⇒f\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{{x}^{\frac{1}{x}}\left(1-\mathrm{log}x\right)}{{x}^{2}}$

For f(x) to be strictly increasing function,

$f\text{'}\left(x\right)>0$

$⇒\frac{{x}^{\frac{1}{x}}\left(1-\mathrm{log}x\right)}{{x}^{2}}>0$

$⇒\mathrm{log}x<1$

$⇒\mathrm{log}x<\mathrm{log}e$

$⇒x

$⇒x\in \left(0,e\right)$         (x > 0)

Thus, the largest interval in which f(x) = x1/x is strictly increasing is (0, e).

The largest interval in which f(x) = x1/x is strictly increasing is ____(0, e)____.
