Prove that \(f(\theta)\) = \({4sin \theta\over 2 + cos\theta} – \theta\) is an increasing function of \(\theta\) in \([0, {\pi\over 2}]\).

Solution : We have, \(f(\theta)\) = \({4sin \theta\over 2 + cos\theta} – \theta\) \(\implies\) \(f'(\theta)\) = \((2 + cos\theta)(4 cos\theta) + 4 sin^2\theta\over (2 + cos\theta)^2\) – 1 \(\implies\) \(f'(\theta)\)  = \(8 cos\theta + 4\over (2 + cos\theta)^2\) – 1 \(\implies\) \(f'(\theta)\) = \(4\cos\theta – cos^2\theta\over (2 + cos\theta)^2\) \(\implies\) \(f'(\theta)\) = \(cos\theta(4 – cos\theta)\over …

Prove that the function f(x) = \(x^3 – 3x^2 + 3x – 100\) is increasing on R

Solution : We have, f(x) = \(x^3 – 3x^2 + 3x – 100\) \(\implies\)  f'(x) = \(3x^2 – 6x + 3\) = \(3(x – 1)^2\) Now, x \(\in\) R \(\implies\)  \((x – 1)^2\)  \(\ge\)  0  \(\implies\)  f'(x)  \(\ge\) 0. Thus, f'(x) \(\ge\) 0 for all x \(\in\) R. Hence, f(x) is increasing on R. Similar …

Separate \([0, {\pi\over 2}]\) into subintervals in which f(x) = sin 3x is increasing or decreasing.

Solution : We have, f(x) = sin 3x \(\therefore\)   f'(x) = 3cos 3x Now,  0 < x < \(pi\over 2\)   \(\implies\)  0 < 3x < \(3\pi\over 2\) Since cosine function is positive in first quadrant and negative in the second and third quadrants. Therefore, we consider the following cases. Case 1 : When 0 < …
