  • question_answer
    Let \[f:R\to R\] be defined as\[f(x)={{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{2}}+2x-1.\]. Then values of x satisfying \[f(f(x))>f(2x-1)\] belongs to the set

    A)  \[(-\infty ,0)\]    

    B) \[(-\infty ,\infty )\]

    C) \[(-4,-2)\]          

    D)  \[(-1,0)\cup (0,\infty )\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[f(x)={{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{2}}+2x-1\] \[f'(x)=3{{x}^{2}}+2x+2>0\,\forall x\in R\] So, \[f(x)\] is an increasing function. Now \[f(f(x))>f(2x-1)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,f(x)>2x-1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{2}}+2x-1>2x-1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}(1+x)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x\in (-1,0)\cup (0,\infty )\]
