Question 8
Which of the following functions is decreasing on (0,đ/2)
(A) sin 2x (B) tan x
(C) cos x (D) cos 3x
To check decreasing, we check if đ^Ⲡ(đ)<đ in (0,đ/2)
Option A
đ(đĽ)=đ đđ 2đĽ
Differentiating w.r.t. đ
đ^Ⲡ(đ)=2 đđđ 2đĽ
Let 2đ = θ
â´ fâ(đĽ) = 2 cos θ
When
0 < x < đ/2 , then 0 < θ < đ
Now,
So, sinâĄ2đĽ is neither increasing nor decreasing in the interval (0,đ/2).
Option B
đ(đĽ)=đĄđđ đĽ
Differentiating w.r.t. đ
fâ(đ) = sec2 đĽ
For 0 < θ < đ /đ
cos θ > 0
Putting đ=2đĽ
cosâĄ2đĽ>0
2 cosâĄ2đĽ>0
â´ đ^Ⲡ(đ)>đ
For đ /đ < θ < đ
cos θ < 0
Putting đ=2đĽ
cosâĄ2đĽ<0
2 cosâĄ2đĽ<0
â´ đ^Ⲡ(đ)<đ
As square of any number is always positive
So, fâ(đĽ) > 0 for all values of đĽ
â´ f is strictly increasing on (0 , đ/2).
Option C
đ(đĽ)=đđđ đĽ
Differentiating w.r.t. đ
đ^Ⲡ(đ)=âđ đđ đĽ
Since,
sin đ > 0 for đĽ â (0 , đ/2)
So,
â sin đ < 0 for đĽ â (0 , đ/2)
â´ fâ (đĽ) < 0 for đĽ â (0 , đ/2)
So, f is strictly decreasing in (0 , đ/2).
Option D
đ(đĽ)=đđđ 3đĽ
Differentiating w.r.t. đ
fâ (đ) = â3 sin 3đĽ
Let 3đ = θ
â´ fâ (đĽ) = â3 sin θ
When
0 < x < đ/2 , then 0 < θ < đđ /đ
For 0 < θ < đ
sin θ > 0
Putting đ=3đĽ
sinâĄ3đĽ>0
â3 sinâĄ3đĽ<0
â´ đ^Ⲡ(đ)<đ
For đ < θ < đđ /đ
sin θ < 0
Putting đ=3đĽ
sinâĄ3đĽ<0
â3 sinâĄ3đĽ>0
â´ đ^Ⲡ(đ)>đ
So, cos 3đĽ is neither increasing nor decreasing in the interval (0,đ/2).
Hence, only đđđ đ is decreasing in the interval (0,đ/2).
So, the correct answer is (C).
