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