Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter Increasing and Decreasing Functions exercise 16.2 question 33 subquestion (iii) maths

Answer:

f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in (0,2\pi)

Given:

f(x)=cos \: x

To prove:

We have to prove that f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in (0,2\pi)

Hint:

For f(x) to be increasing we must have f’(x) > 0

and for f(x) to be decreasing we must have f’(x) < 0

Solution:

Given

f(x)=cos \: x

On differentiating both sides w.r.t x we get

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{d x}(\cos x) \\ &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x \\ &\text { Since for each } x \in(0, \pi), \\ &\sin x>0 \\ &\Rightarrow-\sin x<0 \end{aligned}

By applying negative sign change comparison sign.

\Rightarrow f'(x)<0

Hence f(x) is decreasing function in (0, \pi)

Again,

\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x\\ &\text { Since for each } x \in(\pi, 2 \pi), \sin x<0\\ &\Longrightarrow-\sin x>0 \end{aligned}

By applying negative sign change comparison sign.

\Rightarrow f'(x)>0

Clearly, from above we get f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in (0,2\pi)
