Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct ?

Options

A.x + sinx is increasing function
B.sec x is neither increasing nor decreasing function
C.x + sinx is decreasing function
D.sec x is an increasing function

Solution

Let f(x) = x + sinx
⇒ f′(x) = 1 + cos x
As  f′(x) ≥ 0∀ x ∈ R,       f(x) is increasing
Let  g(x) = sec x
        g′ (x) = sec x tan x
        g′ (x) changes sign.
        g(x) is neither  increasing nor decreasing.
