ConceptIncreasing and Decreasing Functions

#### Question

Prove that the function f(x) = cos x is:
(i) strictly decreasing in (0, π)
(ii) strictly increasing in (π, 2π)
(iii) neither increasing nor decreasing in (0, 2π).

#### Solution

$f\left( x \right) = \cos x$

$f'\left( x \right) = - \sin x$

$\left( i \right)$ $\text { Here },$

$0 < x < \pi$

$\Rightarrow \sin x > 0 \left[ \because \text { Sine function is positive in first and second quadrant } \right]$

$\Rightarrow - \sin x < 0$

$\Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) < 0, \forall x \in \left( 0, \pi \right)$

$\text { So,f(x)is strictly decreasing on } \left( 0, \pi \right) .$

$\left( ii \right)$ $\text { Here, }$

$\pi < x < 2\pi$

$\Rightarrow \sin x < 0 \left[ \because \text { Sine function is negative in third and fourth quadrant} \right]$

$\Rightarrow - \sin x > 0$

$\Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) > 0, \forall x \in \left( \pi, 2\pi \right)$

$\text { So,f(x)is strictly increasing on } \left( \pi, 2\pi \right) .$

$\left( iii \right)$ $\text { From eqs. (1) and (2), we get }$

$f(x)\text { is strictly decreasing on } \left( 0, \pi \right) \text { and is strictly increasing on } \left( \pi, 2\pi \right) .$

$\text { So,}f\left( x \right) \text { is neither increasing nor decreasing on}\left( 0, 2\pi \right).$
