Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = \sin x - \cos x, x \in \left( 0, 2\pi \right)\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = \cos x + \sin x\]
\[\text { For f(x) to be increasin, we must have }\]
\[f'\left( x \right) > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cos x + \sin x > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sin x > - \cos x\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan x > - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( 0, \frac{3\pi}{4} \right) \cup \left( \frac{7\pi}{4}, 2\pi \right)\]
\[\text { So,f(x)is increasing on } \left( 0, \frac{3\pi}{4} \right) \cup \left( \frac{7\pi}{4}, 2\pi \right) . \]
\[\text { For f(x) to be decreasing we must have},\]
\[f'\left( x \right) < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cos x + \sin x < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sin x < - \cos x\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan x < - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x \in \left( \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4} \right)\]
\[\text { So,f(x)is decreasing on }\left( \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4} \right).\]

∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`
Since f(x) is decreasing function.
∴ f'(x) < 0
Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`
