The function f(x) = tan-1 (sinx + cosx) is an increasing function in

  • (π/4, π /2)

  • (–π/2, π /4)

  • (0, π /2)

  • (–π/2, π /2)

Solution

A.

(π/4, π /2)

straight f apostrophe left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 plus space left parenthesis sin space straight x space plus cos space straight x right parenthesis squared end fraction left parenthesis cos space straight x minus space sin space straight x right parenthesis
space equals space fraction numerator square root of 2 cos space open parentheses straight x space plus space begin display style straight pi over 4 end style close parentheses over denominator 1 plus space left parenthesis sin space straight x space plus space cos space straight x right parenthesis squared end fraction
straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space is space increasing space if space minus space straight pi over 2 space less than thin space straight x space plus space straight pi over 4 space less than thin space straight pi over 2
minus fraction numerator 3 straight pi over denominator 4 end fraction space less than thin space straight x space less than thin space straight pi over 4
hence space fI left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis space is space increasing space when space straight x element of open parentheses fraction numerator negative straight pi over denominator 2 end fraction comma straight pi over 4 close parentheses
