    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 :

    \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}x+x\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[f'(x)=-\frac{1}{1+{{x}^{2}}}+1\] \[=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}},\]clearly\[f'(x)>0\]for all\[x\]. So,\[f(x)\]increases in\[(-\infty ,\infty )\].
