Question
Question: f(x) = 1 + x log\((x + \sqrt{x^{2} + 1})\)– \(\sqrt{1 + x^{2}}\) where x is any real number then f(x...
f(x) = 1 + x log(x+x2+1)– 1+x2 where x is any real number then f(x) is
A
Increasing in (–∞, ∞)
B
Increasing in (–∞, 0)
C
Increasing in (0, ∞)
D
None of these
Answer
Increasing in (0, ∞)
Explanation
Solution
f(x) = 1 + x log (x+x2+1) – 1+x2
f '(x) = 1+x+x2+1x × (1+2x2+12x) + log
(x+x2+1).1 – 21+x22x
= 1 + x2+1x + log (x+x2+1)– 1+x2x
= 1 + log(x+x2+1)
When x > 0 f '(x) is > 0 ⇒ f(x) is increasing
