(A). (0, ∞)
(B). (-∞, 0)
(C). R
(D). None of these
Solution
Hint: In this question remember the concept of functions, increasing function and decreasing functions and also remember to take h (x) as a function which is equal to f (x) – g (x) for all x ∈ R, use this function to check which one of the options satisfies this function.
Complete step-by-step answer:
According to the given information we have f′(x)>g′(x) andf(0)=g(0) for all x ∈ R
Let h(x) is a function whose value is f(x)−g(x) for all x ∈ R i.e. h(x) =f(x)−g(x)for all x ∈ R
So h′(x) = f′(x)−g′(x)
Since we know that f′(x)>g′(x) for all x ∈ R therefore
h′(x) = f′(x)−g′(x) > 0
Hence the h(x) is an increasing function
Now substituting the value of x = 0 we get
h(0) =f(0)−g(0)
Since it is given that f(0)=g(0)
Therefore h(0) = 0
For all x ∈ (0,∞)
Since we know that h(x) is an increasing function therefore
h(x) > h(0)
Substituting the value of h(x) in the above equation we get
f(x)−g(x) > 0
\Rightarrow $$$f\left( x \right) > g\left( x \right)$$
Therefore $$f\left( x \right) > g\left( x \right)$$ for all x $$ \in $$ (0,\infty )
Since when x $$ \in $$ to the interval (0,\infty ) doesn’t satisfies the given condition i.e. $$f\left( x \right) > g\left( x \right)$$ for the given function
Now for all x $$ \in $$ (-\infty ,0)Sinceh\left( x \right)isanincreasingfunctionthereforeh\left( x \right)<h\left( 0 \right)Substitutingthevalueofh\left( x \right)in the above equation we get
$$f\left( x \right)-g\left( x \right)$$ < 0 \Rightarrow $$$f\left( x \right) < g\left( x \right)Thereforeforallf\left( x \right) < g\left( x \right)forallx \in (-$\infty $, 0)
Since when x \in belongs to the interval (-$\infty $, 0) satisfies the given condition i.e.f\left( x \right) < g\left( x \right)$$ for the given function
Hence option B is the correct option.
Note: In the above solution we came across the term function which can be explained as the relation of a set of outputs with its inputs such that each input of the function is related to one output, the representation of function is given as suppose we have a function from a to b then it will be represented as f: a → b. When f′(x)>0 in the given interval it is called an increasing function whereas when f′(x)<0 then the function is called a decreasing function in the given interval.
