QJEEM19Ma5085: JEE Main 2019 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEM19Ma5085 Solution: Let f(x) = x a 2 + x 2 − d − x b 2 + ( d − x ) 2 , x ∈ R, where …

Let f(x) = xa2+x2−d−xb2+(d−x)2, x ∈ R, where a, b and d are non-zero real constants. Then :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A f is an increasing function of x
  • B f is neither increasing nor decreasing function of x
  • C f ' is not a continuous function of x
  • D f is a decreasing function of x

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f(x)=xa2+x2−d−xb2+(d−x)2

f′(x)=a2(a2+x2)3/2+b2(b2+(d−x)2)3/2>0∀x∈R

f(x) is an increasing function.
