The interval containing all the real values of x such that the real valued function f(x)= x + 1 x is strictly increasing is
Options
- A(1, )
- B(0,1)
- C(- , 0) (1, )
- D(- , 0)
Correct answer
A. (1, )
Step-by-step solution
f(x)= x + 1 x Clearly, f(x) is defined for x 0f^ = 1 2 x - 1 2 x^ -3 / 2 = 1 2 x (1- 1 x ) For f^ (x) 0 We must have (1- 1 x ) 0 x 1 So, f(x) is strictly increasing in (1, )
