On which of the following intervals is the function f given by \(f(x)=x^{100}+sin\ x-1\) strictly decreasing?
On which of the following intervals is the function f given by \(f(x)=x^{100}+sin\ x-1\) strictly decreasing?
\((0,1)\)
\((\frac \pi2,\pi)\)
\((0,\frac \pi2)\)
\(None\ of \ these\)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
We have,
f(x) = x100+sinx-1
f'(x) = 100x99+cosx
In interval(0,1), cosx>0 and 100x99>0.
f'(x)>0.
Thus, function f is strictly increasing in interval (0, 1).
In interval (\(\frac \pi2\),\(\pi\)), cosx<0 and 100x99>0. also, 100x100>cosx
\(\implies\)f'(x)>0 in (\(\frac \pi2\),\(\pi\)).
Thus, function f is strictly increasing in interval (\(\frac \pi2\),\(\pi\)).
In interval (0,\(\frac \pi2\)), cosx>0 and 100x99>0.
100x99+cosx>0
f'(x)>0 on (0,\(\frac \pi2\)).
Hence, function f is strictly decreasing in none of the intervals. The correct answer is (D).

- Ahousing society wants to commission a swimming pool for its residents. For this, they have to purchase a square piece of land and dig this to such a depth that its capacity is 250 cubic metres. Cost of land is 500 per square metre. The cost of digging increases with the depth and cost for the whole pool is 4000 (depth)2. Suppose the side of the square plot is x metres and depth is h metres.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions
Given:- Square plot side = x metres
- Depth = h metres
- Volume = x2h = 250 cubic metres
- Cost of land: 500 per sq.metre

Concepts Used:
Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Increasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be increasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) ≤ f(y)
Decreasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be decreasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) ≥ f(y)
Strictly Increasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be strictly increasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) < f(y)
Strictly Decreasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be strictly decreasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) > f(y)
