Show that f(x) = sin x is increasing on (0, π/2) and decreasing on (π/2, π) and neither increasing nor decreasing in (0, π).
Given:- Function f(x) = sin x
Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a,b).
(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)
(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)
Algorithm:-
(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)
(ii) Find f’(x)
(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.
For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.
Here we have,
f(x) = sin x
⇒
⇒ f’(x) = cosx
Taking different region from 0 to 2π
a) let
⇒ cos(x) > 0
⇒ f’(x) > 0
Thus f(x) is increasing in
b) let
⇒ cos(x) < 0
⇒ f’(x) < 0
Thus f(x) is decreasing in
Therefore, from above condition we find that
⇒ f(x) is increasing in and decreasing in
Hence, condition for f(x) neither increasing nor decreasing in (0,π)
