The function f(x)= (1+x)- 2 x 2+x is increasing on
Options
- A(0, )
- B(- , 0)
- C(- , )
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. (0, )
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)= (1+x)- 2 x 2+x aligned f^ (x) &= 1 1+x - (2+x) 2-2 x (2+x)² &= x² (1+x)(x+2)² aligned Clearly, f^ (x)>0 for all x>0 . Hence, f(x) is increasing on (0, ) .
