To show that the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \) is a decreasing function on the interval \( (0, \infty) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the derivative of the function We start by differentiating the function \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{x} \right) \] Using the power rule, we can rewrite \( \frac{1}{x} \) as \( x^{-1} \): ...
