Options
- Aincreasing on (0, ) .
- Bincreasing on (0, e ) , decreasing on ( e , ) .
- Cdecreasing on (0, ) .
- Ddecreasing on (0, e ) , increasing on ( e , )
Correct answer
C. decreasing on (0, ) .
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Let f (x)= ( +x) ( e +x) & aligned f ^ (x) & = ( e +x) 1 +x - ( +x) 1 e +x [ ( e +x)]^2 & = ( e +x) ( e +x)-( +x) ( +x) [ ( e +x)]^2 ( e +x)( +x) f^ (x) & 0 for all x 0 f (x) & is decreasing on (0, ) . aligned aligned
