JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Applications of Derivatives Question Bank Increasing and Decreasing Function

  • question_answer
    The function \[\frac{1}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]is decreasing in the interval

    A)            \[(-\infty ,\,-1]\]

    B)            \[(-\infty ,\,0]\]

    C)            \[[1,\infty )\]

    D)            \[(0,\infty )\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[y=\frac{1}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]Þ\[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2x}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}\]            To be decreasing, \[-\frac{2x}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}<0\]Þ\[x>0\Rightarrow x\in (0,\infty )\].
