Question

For all x∈ (0,1)

Options

A.ex < 1 + x
B.loge(1 + x) < x
C.sin x > x
D.loge x > x

Solution

Note Inequation based upon uncompatible function. This type of inequation can be solved by calulus only.
Part (a)     f(x) = ex - 1 - x
then     f(x) = ex - 1 - x
⇒     f(x) increases in (0,1)
⇒     f(x) > f(0) for 0 < x < 1
⇒     ex - 1 - x > 0 or ex > 1 + x for 0 < x <1
Part (b) Next, let g (x) loge (1 + x) - x, 0 < x < 1
      g′ <0 for 0 < x < 1
⇒     g(x) decreases for 0 < x <1
⇒     g(x) < g (0) for 0 < x <1
⇒     loge (1 + x) - x < 0 for 0 < x < 1
or     loge (1 + x) < x for 0 < x < 1
Therefore, (b) is the answer.
Part (c) sin x > x
let   h(x) = sin x - x
       h′(x) = cos x -1
for x ∈ (0,1), cos x -1 < 0 ⇒ h(x) is decreasing function.
⇒     h(x) < h (0)
⇒     sin x - x < 0
⇒     sin x < x, which is not true,
Part (d) p(x) = log x - x
    p′(x) - 1 0, ∀ x ∈ (0,1)
Therefore, p′(x) is an increasing function
⇒     p (0) < p (x)< p (1
⇒     - ∞ < log x - x < - 1
⇒     log x - x < 0 ⇒ log x < x
Therefore, (d) is not the answer,
