Let the function g: (- ∞, ∞) →
be given by g(u) = 2tan-1(eu) -
. Then, g is
be given by g(u) = 2tan-1(eu) -
. Then, g isOptions
A.even and is strictly increasing in (0, ∞)
B.odd and is strictly decreasing in (-∞, ∞)
C.odd and is strictly increasing in (-∞, ∞)
D.neither even nor odd, but is strictly increasing in (-∞, ∞)
Solution
g(u) = 2 tan-1(eu)- 
= 2tan-1 eu - tan-1 eu - cot-1 eu = tan-1 eu - cot-1 eu
g(-x) = -g(x)
⇒ g(x) is odd
and g′(x) > 0 ⇒ increasing.

= 2tan-1 eu - tan-1 eu - cot-1 eu = tan-1 eu - cot-1 eu
g(-x) = -g(x)
⇒ g(x) is odd
and g′(x) > 0 ⇒ increasing.
