Question

Show that f(x) = x – cos x is increasing for all x.

Sum

Solution

f(x) = x – cos x

∴ f′(x) = 1 + sin x

Note that –1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1, ∀x

∴ –1 + 1 ≤ 1 + sin x ≤ 1 + 1, ∀x

∴ 0 ≤ 1 + sin x ≤ 2, ∀x

i.e., f′(x) ≥ 0 for all x.

Hence, f(x) is increasing for all x

∴ 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`
