Increasing and Decreasing Functions: IIT JEE (Main) Examination

This document discusses increasing and decreasing functions and how to use derivatives to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing over an interval. It defines strictly increasing, strictly decreasing, and monotonic functions. It states that the first derivative test can be used to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing based on the sign of the derivative. It provides examples of using the first derivative test to find intervals of increase and decrease for functions and determines the critical numbers. It also works through several practice problems applying these concepts.

IIT JEE (Main): Increasing and deceasing function

Application of derivatives:
 Increasing and decreasing function is one of the applications of derivatives
 Derivatives are used to identify that the function is increasing or decreasing in a
particular interval
 
 Generally, we know that if
something is increasing, it is going
upward and if something is
decreasing it is going downwards
IIT JEE (Main): Increasing and deceasing function
• Strictly
  increasing function: A function is strictly increasing on if

A function is increasing on if

 Strictly decreasing function: A function is strictly decreasing on if

A function is decreasing on if
IIT JEE (Main): Increasing and deceasing function
• Increasing
  and Decreasing function at a point : A function is strictly increasing
(strictly decreasing ) at a point if there is an interval such that is strictly
increasing (strictly decreasing ) on
 Monotonic function: A function id said to be monotonic on if it is either
increasing or decreasing on

• How derivatives are used to find whether the function is increasing or
decreasing function? We can use the first derivative test to check whether the
function is increasing or decreasing

 Theorem: Let be differentiable on the open


interval . Then
 If then is  strictly increasing in interval
 If then is  strictly decreasing in interval
 If then is  constant in interval

 If then is  strictly decreasing in interval ]
 If then is  constant in interval ]
 If and are monotonically (or strictly) increasing (or decreasing) function on , then is a
monotonically (or strictly) increasing (or decreasing) function on
 If one of two function and is strictly (or monotonically) increasing and other a strictly
(monotonically) decreasing, then is a strictly (monotonically) decreasingon

•Calculation
  of intervals of increase or decrease: To calculate the intervals of
increase or decrease function, we need to follow some steps:
 First of all, we have to differentiate the given function.
 Then solve the first derivative as equation to find the value of
The first derivative:
 Form open intervals with the values of the which we got after solving the first derivative
and the points of discontinuity.
 Take a value from every interval and find the sign they have in the first derivative.
 If is strictly increasing
 If is strictly decreasing.
 Write the intervals of increase and decrease:

Critical numbers: The critical numbers for a function are those numbers in the
domain of for which or does not exists.
 A critical point is a point whose X coordinate is the critical number and the Y
coordinate is the
