Show that f(x) = log sin x is increasing on (0, π/2) and decreasing on (π/2, π).
Given:- Function f(x) = log 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) = log sin x
⇒
⇒
⇒ f’(x) = cot(x)
Taking different region from 0 to π
a) let
⇒ cot(x) > 0
⇒ f’(x) > 0
Thus f(x) is increasing in
b) let
⇒ cot(x) < 0
⇒ f’(x) < 0
Thus f(x) is decreasing in
Hence proved
