Show that f(x) = [x – 1/x] is increasing for all x ∈ R, where x ≠ 0.

Answer»

It is given that

f(x) = [x – 1/x]

By differentiating w.r.t. x

f’(x) = 1 + 1/x2

On further calculation

f’(x) = (x2 + 1)/x2

Here f’(x) ≥ 0 for all x ≠ 0

Therefore, f(x) is increasing function for all x ∈ R, where x ≠ 0.
