Correct answer: D
Differentiate both functions
Given
f(x)=2x+tan−1x,
so
f′(x)=2+1+x21.
Also,
g(x)=ln(1+x2+x).
This is a standard form:
ln(x+1+x2)=sinh−1x,
therefore
g′(x)=1+x21.
Check option A
We need to see whether there exists x^∈[0,3] such that
f′(x^)<g′(x^).
Now for x∈[0,3],
f′(x)=2+1+x21>2,
while
g′(x)=1+x21≤1.
Hence for all x∈[0,3],
f′(x)>g′(x).
So such x^ does not exist.
Therefore, A is false.
Check option B
We test whether there exist 0<x1<x2<3 such that
f(x)<g(x)∀x∈(x1,x2).
Consider
h(x)=f(x)−g(x).
Then
h′(x)=f′(x)−g′(x)=2+1+x21−1+x21.
Let t=1+x2≥1. Then
1+x21=t21,
so
h′(x)=2+t21−t1.
Since t≥1,
2+t21−t1>0.
Hence h′(x)>0 for all x∈[0,3], so h is strictly increasing.
Now
h(0)=f(0)−g(0)=0−ln1=0.
Since h is increasing and h(0)=0,
h(x)>0∀x>0.
Thus
f(x)>g(x)∀x∈(0,3].
So there cannot be any interval where f(x)<g(x).
Therefore, B is false.
Check option C
We compute minf′(x) and maxg′(x) on [0,3].
For f′(x):
f′(x)=2+1+x21.
Since 1+x21 decreases on [0,3], f′(x) decreases.
Thus
minf′(x)=f′(3)=2+101=1021.
For g′(x):
g′(x)=1+x21,
which also decreases on [0,3].
Thus
maxg′(x)=g′(0)=1.
Then
1+maxg′(x)=1+1=2.
But
minf′(x)=1021=2.
So the statement is false.
Therefore, C is false.
Check option D
Since
f′(x)>0andg′(x)>0
for all x∈[0,3], both functions are increasing on [0,3].
Therefore,
maxf(x)=f(3),maxg(x)=g(3).
Now
f(3)=2⋅3+tan−13=6+tan−13.
Also
g(3)=ln(10+3).
Numerically,
tan−13≈1.249,
so
f(3)≈7.249.
And
10+3≈6.162,
so
g(3)=ln(6.162)≈1.818.
Hence
maxf(x)>maxg(x).
