Ex 6.2, 17 Prove that the function f given by f (π‘₯) = log cos π‘₯ is strictly decreasing on (0,πœ‹/2) and strictly increasing on(πœ‹/2,πœ‹) f(π‘₯) = log cos π‘₯ We need to show that f(π‘₯) is strictly decreasing on (0 , πœ‹/2) & strictly increasing on (πœ‹/2 , πœ‹) i.e. We need to show f’(𝒙) < 0 for π‘₯ ∈ (𝟎 , 𝝅/𝟐) & f’(𝒙) > 0 for π‘₯ ∈ (𝝅/𝟐 , 𝝅) Finding f’(𝒙) f’(π‘₯) = (π‘™π‘œπ‘”.cos⁑π‘₯ )’ f’(π‘₯) = (1 )/cos⁑π‘₯ . 𝑑(cos⁑π‘₯ )/𝑑π‘₯ f’ (π‘₯) = 1/cos⁑π‘₯ .γ€–βˆ’sin〗⁑π‘₯ f’ (𝒙) = γ€–βˆ’π¬π’π§γ€—β‘π’™/πœπ’π’”β‘π’™ Checking sign of f’ (π‘₯) on (0 , πœ‹/2) & (πœ‹/2 , πœ‹) For 0 < 𝒙 < 𝝅/𝟐 Here, x is in the 1st quadrant ∴ cos π‘₯ > 0 & sin π‘₯ > 0 Now, f’(π‘₯) =γ€–βˆ’π¬π’π§γ€—β‘π’™/πœπ’π’”β‘π’™ = ((βˆ’)(+))/((+) ) < 0 Hence, f’(𝒙) < 0 for π‘₯ ∈ (0 , πœ‹/2) Thus f(π‘₯) is strictly decreasing for π‘₯ ∈ (0 , πœ‹/2) For 𝝅/𝟐 < 𝒙 < Ο€ Here, x is in the 2nd quadrant ∴ cos 𝒙 < 0 & sin 𝒙 > 0 Now, f’(π‘₯) =γ€–βˆ’π¬π’π§γ€—β‘π’™/πœπ’π’”β‘π’™ = ((βˆ’)(+))/((βˆ’) ) > 0 Hence, f’(𝒙) >0 for π‘₯ ∈ (πœ‹/2 , πœ‹) Thus, f(π‘₯) is strictly increasing for π‘₯ ∈ (πœ‹/2 , πœ‹)
