Show that the function given by f(x) = e2x is strictly increasing on R.
Here f (x) = e2 x ⇒ f ' (x) = 2 e2x
Three cases arise:
Case I.
Case II. x = 0
Case III,
Prove that f (x) = ax + b, where a and b are constants and a > 0 is an strictly increasing function for all real values of x. without using the derivative.
Prove that the function f (x) = sinx is
(i) strictly increasing in
(ii) strictly decreasing in
(iii) neither increasing nor decreasing in .
Prove that the function f (x) = cos x is
(i) strictly increasing in
(ii) strictly decreasing in
(iii) neither increasing nor decreasing in
