We have, f (x) = x2 + x + 1
So, f (x) = 2x + a
If f (x) is strictly increasing onx
So, 1
The minimum value of f (x) is 2 + a and that of men value is 4 + a.
∴ 2 +a> 0and 4 + a> 0
a> -2 and a> -4.
a> -2.
∴The best value of a is -2.

We have, f (x) = x 100 + sin x - 1.
So, f (x) = 100x99 + cosx.
(A) When x (0,1). We get.
x>0
x99> 0
100 x99> 0.
Now, 0 radian = 0 degree
and 1 radian =
So, cosx> 0 for x∈ (0,1) radian = (0,57)
∴f (x) > 0 for x∈ (0,1).
(B) When x ∈ we get,
So, x> 1
x99> 1
100x99> 100.
And cosx is negative between -1 and 0.
So, f (x) = 100x99 + cosx> 100 - 1 = 99 > 0.
∴f(x) is strictly increasing on
(c) When x ∈ we get,
x> 0
x99> 0
100x99> 0
and cosx> 0. (firstquadrant).
I e, f(x) > 0.
∴f(x) is strictly increasing on
Hence, option (D) is correct.

(A) We have,
f(x) = cosx
So, f(x) = -sin x
When x we know that sin x> 0.
-sinx< 0. f(x) < 0
∴f(x) is strictly decreasing on
(B) We have, f(x) = cos 2x
So, f(x) = -2sin 2x
When we know that sin x> 0.
i e, 0
=> 0<2x<
So, sin 2x> 0 (sinØ is ( +ve) in 1st and 2ndquadrant).
-2sin 2x< 0.
f (x) < 0.
∴f (x) is strictly decreasing on
(c) We have, f(x) = cos 3x
f(x) = -3 sin 3x.
As
We can divide the interval into two
Case I At, 0 < 3x
sin 3x> 0.
-3 sin 3x< 0
f(x) < 0.
∴f(x) is strictly decreasing on
case II. At
sin 3x< 0.
-3 sin 3x> 0.
f(x) > 0.
∴f(x) is strictly increasing on
Hence, f(x) is with a increasing or

We have, f (x) = x2-x + 1.
So, f (x) =
Atf (x) = 0.
2x - 1 = 0
I e, x = divides the real line into two disjoint interval the interval ( -1, 1) into
Two disjoint interval
And f (x) is strictly increasing in and strictly decreasing in
Hence, f (x) is with a increasing or decreasing on ( -1,1).

We have, f (x) = log x.
So, f (x) =
i e, f (x) > 0. When
Hence, the logarithmic fx is strictly increasing on

We have, y =
Differentiating w rt.Ø we get,
When we know that,
So,
And also, (2 + cos)2> 0.

We have, y = [x (x- 2)]2.
Differentiating the above w rt. x we get,
= 2 [x (x- 2)] (x + x- 2)
= 2x (x - 2) (2x - 2)
= 4x (x - 2) (x - 1).
Now,
4x (x - 2) (x - 1) = 0.
i e, x = 0, x = 2, x = 1 divides the real line into
four disjoint interval. [0,1],[1,2] and
when x
∴f (x) is decreasing in
When
∴f (x) is increasing in [0,1].
When x
∴f (x) is decreasing.
When
∴f (x) is in creasing
Hence, f (x) is increasing for x

We have, y = log
Differentiating the above wrt.x.we get,
The given domain of the given function isx> -1.
(x + 1) > 0.
Also,
(2 + x)2> 0.
Hence,
∴ y is an increasing function of x throughout its domain.

(a) f (x) = x2 + 2x - 5.
f(x) = 2x + 2 = 2 (x + 1).
At, f(x) = 0
2 (x + 1) = 0
x = -1.
At, x
f(x) = (- ) ve< 0.
So, f (x)is strictly decreasing or
At x ∈
f(x) = ( + ve) > 1
f(x) is strictly increasing on
(b) f(x) = 10 - 6x- 2x2
So, f(x) = - 6 - 4x = - 2 (3 + 2x).
Atf(x) = 0
2 (3 + 2x) = 0.
x =
At x
∴f(x) is strictly increasing on
At x
f(x) = ( -ve) ( + ve) = ( - ) ve< 0.
∴f (x) is strictly decreasing on
(c) f (x) = 2x3- 9x2- 12x.
So, f (x) =- 6x2- 18x- 12 = - 6 (x2 + 3x + 2).
= -6 [x2 + x + 2x + 2]
= -6 [x (x + 1) + 2 (x + 1)]
= -6 (x + 1) (x + 2)
At, f (x) = 0.
6 (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0
x = -1 and x =

We have, f (x) = 2x3- 3x2- 36x + 7.
So, f (x) =
= 6 (x2-x- 6).
= 6 (x2- 3x + 2x- 6)
= 6 [x (x- 3) + 2 (x- 3)]
= 6 (x- 3) (x + 2).
At, f (x) = 0
6 (x- 3) (x + 2) = 0.
So, when x- 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0.
x = 3 or x = -2.
Hence we an divide the real line into three disjoint internal
I
At x ∈
f (x) = ( + ve) ( -ve) ( -ve) = ( + ve) > 0.
So, f (x) is strictly increasing in
At, x∈ ( -2,3),
f (x) = ( + ve) ( + ve) ( -ve) = ( -ve) < 0.
So, f (x) is strictly decreasing in ( -2,3).
At, x ∈
f (x) = ( + ve) ( + ve) ( + ve) = ( + )ve> 0.
So, f (x) is strictly increasing in
∴ (a) f (x) is strictly increasing in
(b) f (x) is strictly decr
