Show that the function given by f (x) = sin x is
(a) strictly increasing in 
(c) neither increasing nor decreasing in (0, π)
(a) The function is f (x) = sin x
Then, f’(x) = cos x
Since for each x ϵ
, cos x > 0, we have f’(x) > 0
Therefore, f’ is strictly increasing in
.
(b) The function is f (x) = sin x
Then, f’(x) = cos x
Since for each
, cos x < 0, we have f’(x) < 0
Therefore, f’ is strictly decreasing in
.
(c) The function is f (x) = sin x
Then, f’(x) = cos x
Since for each x ϵ
, cos x > 0, we have f’(x) >0
Therefore, f’ is strictly increasing in
……………….(1)
Now, The function is f (x) = sin x
Then, f’(x) = cos x
Since, for each x ϵ
, cos x < 0, we have f’(x) < 0
Therefore, f’ is strictly decreasing in
…………(2)
From (1) and (2),
It is clear that f is neither increasing nor decreasing in (0, π).
