Solution
\[\text { Let } x_1 , x_2 \in \left( 0, \infty \right)\text { such that } x_1 < x_2 . \text { Then },\]
\[ x_1 < x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \log_e x_1 < \log_e x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right)\]
\[\therefore x_1 < x_2 \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right), \forall x_1 , x_2 \in \left( 0, \infty \right)\]
\[\text { So,}f\left( x \right) \text { is increasing on }\left( 0, \infty \right).\]
