Consider the function f(x)= |x-1| x^2 , then f(x) is
Options
- Aincreasing in (0,1) (2, )
- Bincreasing in (- , 0) (0,1)
- Cdecreasing in (- , 0) (2, )
- Ddecreasing in (0,1) (2, )
Correct answer
D. decreasing in (0,1) (2, )
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)= aligned x-1 x^2 ; & x 1 -x+1 x^2 ; & x 1 aligned . aligned & f(x)= cases 1 x - 1 x^2 ; & x 1 - 1 x + 1 x^2 ; & x 1 cases & f^ (x)= cases -1 x^2 + 2 x^3 ; & x 1 1 x^2 - 2 x^3 ; & x 1 cases & f^ (x)= cases 2-x x^3 ; & x 1 x-2 x^3 ; & x 1 cases aligned By observation, f^ (x) will be Decreasing in (0,1) (2, ) and increasing in (- , 0) (1,2)
