Let f(x) = ex – x and g(x) = x2 – x, x R. Then the set of all x R, where the function h(x) = (fog) (x) is increasing, is :
- A[0, )
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Given functions
We have and
We need the set of all real for which is increasing.
- Differentiate using chain rule
Since we get
Now, so
Also,
Hence,
- Find where
For to be increasing, we need So we analyze the sign of
- Sign of
Recall:
- if
- if
- if
So the sign depends on
Now,
Therefore:
- for or ,
- at ,
- for ,
- Sign of
- Combine signs interval-wise
Critical points are .
We check intervals:
(i)
So Not increasing.
(ii)
So Increasing.
(iii)
So Not increasing.
(iv)
So Increasing.
At boundary points:
- :
- :
- :
Thus the function is increasing on
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is D.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
My derived answer: D
They match.
