Show that `f(x)=e^(1//x),\ \ x!=0` is a decreasing function for all `x!=0` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f(x)=e^(1//x),\ \ x!=0`
`f'(x)=e^(1/e)-1/(x^2)`
`=frac{-e^(1/x)}{x^2}`
for the function be decreasing or increasing `f ′ (x)` should be less than or more than equal to `0` since the function is decreasing `e^(1/x)>0 ∀x ! ...
