  • 1

  • 3

  • 2

  • 0

The equation of the tangent to the curve (1 + x2)y = 2 - x where it crosses the x-axis, is :

  • x + 5y = 2

  • x - 5y = 2

  • 5x - y = 2

  • 5x + y - 2 = 0

The function f(x) = 1 - x3 - x5 is decreasing for :

  • 1  x  5

  • x  1

  • x  1

  • all values of x


D.

all values of x

 fx = 1 - x3 - x5On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get    f'x = - 3x2 - 5x4           = - x23 + 5x2 < 0  x

This shows that function is decreasing for all values of x.
