The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let $f\left(x\right) = e^{x} - 1 - x $ then $f'\left(x\right) =e^{x } - 1 >0 $ for $x \in\left(0,1\right) $
$\therefore \, f(x)$ is an increasing function.
$\therefore \, f(x) > f(0) , \forall x \in (0,1)$
$\Rightarrow \, e^x - 1 - x > 0 \Rightarrow \, e^x > 1 + x$
$\therefore$ (a) does not hold.
(b) Let $g(x) = log (1+x) -x $
then $g'(x) = \frac{1}{1+x} - 1 = - \frac{x}{1+x} < 0 , \forall x \in (0,1)$
$\therefore \, g(x) $ is decreasing on $(0, 1) \therefore x > 0 $
$\Rightarrow \, g (x) < g (0)$
$\Rightarrow \, \log_e (1 + x) - x < 0 \, \Rightarrow \, \log_e (1 + x) < x$

Various Applications of Derivatives-

Rate of Change of Quantities:

If some other quantity ‘y’ causes some change in a quantity of surely ‘x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets consistently pleased, i.e, ‘y’ is a function of ‘x’ then the rate of change of ‘y’ related to ‘x’ is to be given by 

\(\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

This is also known to be as the Average Rate of Change.

Increasing and Decreasing Function:

Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).

  • If for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≤ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as increasing in this interval.
  • Likewise, if for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≥ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as decreasing in this interval.
  • The functions are commonly known as strictly increasing or decreasing functions, given the inequalities are strict: f(x1) < f(x2) for strictly increasing and f(x1) > f(x2) for strictly decreasing.
