QJEEM22Mae4fb: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEM22Mae4fb Solution: The function f ( x ) = x e x ( 1 − x ) , x ∈ R , is :

The function f(x)=xex(1−x),x∈R, is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A increasing in (−12,1)
  • B decreasing in (12,2)
  • C increasing in (−1,−12)
  • D decreasing in (−12,12)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f(x)=xex(1−x),x∈R

f′(x)=xex(1−x).(1−2x)+ex(1−x)

=ex(1−x)[x−2x2+1]

=−ex(1−x)[2x2−x−1]

=−ex(1−x)(2x+1)(x−1)

∴ f(x) is increasing in (−12,1) and decreasing in (−∞,−12)∪(1,∞)
