        The function\[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}x+x\]increases in the interval

    A)  \[(1,\infty )\]                                   

    B)  \[(-1,\infty )\]

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

    D)  \[(0,\infty )\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    We have the function \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}x+x\] On differentiating both sides w.r.t.\[x,\]we get                 \[f(x)=-\frac{1}{1+{{x}^{2}}}+1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(x)=\frac{-1+1+{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(x)=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\] Clearly,\[f(x)>0\]for all\[x\in R\]. Hence,\[f(x)\]increases in the interval\[(-\infty ,\infty )\].
