Increasing and Decreasing Function (Page 104)

Let f be defined on an interval ( a, b ) and let x1 , x2 ( a, b ) . Then
1. f is increasing on the interval ( a, b ) if f ( x2 ) > f ( x1 ) whenever x2 > x1
2. f is decreasing on the interval ( a, b ) if f ( x2 ) < f ( x1 ) whenever x2 > x1
Theorem (Page 105)
Let f be differentiable on the open interval (a, b) .
1- f is increasing on ( a, b ) if f ( x) > 0 for each x ( a, b ) .
2- f is decreasing on ( a, b ) if f ( x) < 0 for each x ( a, b ) .
First Derivative Test (Page 109)
Let f be differentiable in neighbourhood of c , where
f (c) = 0 .
1. The function has relative maxima at x = c if f ( x) > 0
before x = c and f ( x) < 0 after x = c .
2. The function has relative minima at x = c if f ( x) < 0
before x = c and f ( x) > 0 after x = c .

Second Derivative Test (Page 111)

Let f be differential function in a neighbourhood of c , where f (c) = 0 . Then
1- f has relative maxima at c if f (c) < 0 .
2- f has relative minima at c if f (c) > 0 .
Question # 1(i)
f ( x) = sin x
;
f ( x) = cos x
Put f ( x) = 0 cos x = 0

x [ , ]

cosx < 0
2nd quad.

x= ,
2 2

So we have sub-intervals , , , ,
2 2 2

f ( x) = cos x < 0 whenever x ,

2

So f is decreasing on the interval , .

f ( x) = cos x > 0 whenever x ,

FSc-II / Ex- 2.9 - 2

So f is increasing on the interval , .
2 2

f ( x) = cos x > 0 whenever x ,

2

So f is decreasing on the interval , .

2
Question # 1(ii)
f ( x) = cos x

,
2 2

f ( x) = sin x
Put f ( x) = 0 sin x = 0

sin x = 0 x = 0

So we have sub-intervals ,0 and 0, .

2
2

Now f ( x) = sin x > 0 whenever x ,0

2

So f is increasing on ,0
2

f ( x) = sin x < 0 whenever x 0,

2

So f is decreasing on 0, .
2
Question # 1(iii)
f ( x) = 4 x 2
;
x [ 2, 2]
f ( x) = 2 x
Put f ( x) = 0 2 x = 0 x = 0
So we have subintervals ( 2,0 ) and ( 0, 2 )
f ( x) = 2 x > 0 whenever x ( 2,0 )
f is increasing on the interval ( 2,0 )
Also f ( x) = 2 x < 0 whenever x ( 0,2 )
f is decreasing on ( 0, 2 )
Question # 1(iv)
f ( x ) = x 2 + 3x + 2
f ( x) = 2 x + 3

x [ 4,1]

Put f ( x) = 0 2 x + 3 = 0 x =

FSc-II / Ex- 2.9 - 3

So we have sub-intervals 4, and ,1
2

2
3
Now f ( x) = 2 x + 3 < 0 whenever x 4,
2

3
So f is decreasing on 4,
2

3
Also f ( x) > 0 whenever x ,1

3
Therefore f is increasing on ,1 .

Question # 2(i)
f ( x) = 1 x3
Diff. w.r.t x
f ( x) = 3x 2 . (i)
For stationary points, put f ( x) = 0
3x 2 = 0

x=0

Diff (i) w.r.t x

f ( x) = 6 x . (ii)
Now put x = 0 in (ii)
f (0) = 6(0) = 0
So second derivative test fails to determinate the extreme points.
Put x = 0 = in (i)
f ( x) = 3( ) 2 = 3 2 < 0
Put x = 0 + = in (i)
f ( x) = 3( ) 2 = 3 2 < 0
As f ( x) doest not change its sign before and after x = 0 .
Since at x = 0 , f ( x) = 1 therefore (0,1) is the point of inflexion.

Question # 2(ii)
f ( x) = x 2 x 2
Diff. w.r.t. x
f ( x) = 2 x 1 . (i)
For stationary points, put f ( x) = 0
2x 1 = 0

2x = 1

Diff (i) w.r.t x

f ( x) =

f ( x) = 6 x .. (i)
For stationary points, put f ( x) = 0
6x = 0 x = 0
Diff. (i) w.r.t x
f ( x) = 6
At x = 0
f (0) = 6 > 0
f has minimum value at x = 0
And f (0) = 3(0) 2 = 0

FSc-II / Ex- 2.9 - 11

Why is it happened?
Suppose a = b
2
a = ab

ing both sides by a

a b = ab b
2

ing b from both sides

( a + b )( a b ) = b ( a b )
a+b=b
b+b=b
2b = b
2 =1

ing by a b
a=b
ing by b

Reason:
Did you know that the cancellation law is stated as

ac = bc

a = b if c 0

In above case we have divided equation by

a b , which is zero as a = b .
