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

  • question_answer
    The function \[f(x)={{\tan }^{-1}}(\sin x+\cos x)\], \[x>0\] is always an increasing function on the interval                         [Kerala (Engg.) 2005]

    A)            \[(0,\,\pi )\]

    B)            \[(0,\,\pi /2)\]

    C)            \[(0,\pi /4)\]

    D)            \[(0,\,3\pi /4)\]

    E)            \[(0,\,5\pi /4)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \sqrt{2}\sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right) \right)\]                    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\tan y=\sqrt{2}\sin \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}y\frac{dy}{dx}=\sqrt{2}\cos \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]                    \[\frac{dy}{dx}>0\Rightarrow \cos \left( x+\frac{\pi }{4} \right)>0\]. \[\therefore \,\,\,x\in \left( 0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\].
