Show that `f(x)=x^2-xsinx` is an increasing function on `(0,\ pi//2)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given
`f(x)=x^2-xsinx`
Then
`f′(x)=2x−sinx−xcosx=x(2−cosx)−sinx`
But for all `x` in `(0, pi/2)`,`0`<`cosx`<`1` and `0`<`x`<`sinx`,
so
`f′(x)`>`x−sinx`>`0`
which implies that f is strictly increasing on `(0,pi/2)`
