Answer:

f(x) is decreasing on (0,\pi)  and increasing on (-\pi,0) and neither increasing nor decreasing on (-\pi,\pi).

Given:

f(x)=cos\: x

To show:

We have to show that f(x) is decreasing on (0,\pi)  and increasing on (-\pi,0) and neither increasing nor decreasing on (-\pi,\pi).

Hint:

  1. For increasing function f'(x)>0 then f(x) is increasing.
  2. For f(x) to be decreasing 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 \end{aligned}

Taking different region from -\pi to \pi.

\begin{aligned} &\text { Let } x \in(0, \pi) \\ &\Rightarrow \sin x>0 \\ &\Rightarrow-\sin x<0 \end{aligned}

By applying negative sign change comparison sign.

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)<0\\ \end{aligned}

Thus f(x) is decreasing (0,\pi)

\begin{aligned} &\text { Let } x \in(-\pi, 0)\\ &\Longrightarrow \sin x<0\\ &\Rightarrow-\sin x>0 \end{aligned}

By applying negative sign change comparison sign.

\Rightarrow f'(x)> 0

Thus f(x) is increasing (-\pi,0).

Therefore from above condition we find that

?f(x) is decreasing in (0, \pi) and increasing in (-\pi,0)

Hence, f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in  (-\pi, \pi)
