Solution
f(x) `= "x" - 1/"x", "x" in "R"`
`therefore "f"'("x") = 1 - (- 1/"x"^2) = 1 + 1/"x"^2`
`∵ "x" ne 0,` for all values of x, `"x"^2>0`
`therefore 1/"x"^2 > 0, 1 + 1/"x"^2` is always positive
thus f'(x)>o , for all x ∈ R
Hence f(x) is increasing function.

∴ 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`
