Mark the correct alternative in the following:

The function f(x) = xx decreases on the interval.


Formula:- The necessary and sufficient condition for differentiable function defined on (a,b) to be strictly increasing on (a,b) is that f’(x)>0 for all x(a,b)


Given:-


f(x) = xx



now for decreasing


f(x)<0


xx(1+logx)<0


(1+logx)<0


logx<-1


x<e-1
