Applications Of Derivatives Question 10

Question: The function $ \frac{x-2}{x+1},(x\ne -1) $ is increasing on the interval

Options:

A) $ (-\infty ,,0] $

B) [0, $ \infty $ )

C) R

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Since $ f’(x)=\frac{3}{{{(x+1)}^{2}}} $ is greater than ‘0’ in interval $ (-\infty ,,\infty ), $ therefore $ f(x)=\frac{x-2}{x+1} $ is increasing in interval $ (-\infty ,,\infty ) $ or R.
