Question

Prove that function f(x) = `x - 1/x`, x ∈ R and x ≠ 0 is increasing function

Sum

Solution

f(x) = `x - 1/x`, x ∈ R, x ≠ 0

∴ f'(x) = `1 + 1/x^2`

x2 is always positive for x ≠ 0

∴ f′(x) > 0 for all x ∈ R, x ≠ 0

Hence, f(x) is an increasing function for all x ∈ R, x ≠ 0.

∴ 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`
