Prove that the function f given by f (x)...

Prove that the function f given by `f (x) = log cos x` is strictly decreasing on `(0,pi/2)`and strictly increasing on `(pi/2,pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

given `f(x)=logxcosx`
We have to prove `f(x)` is strictly increasing on `(-pi/2,0)` and strictly decreasing on `(0.pi/2)`
Now `f'(x)=1/cosx(-sinx)impliesf'(x)=-tanx`
Case I - Strictly increasing
`f'(x)>0implies-tanx>0impliestanx<0`
`x∈(-pi/2,0)or (pi/2,pi)`
Case II - Strictly decreasing
`f'(x)<0 implies-tanx<0impliestanx>0`
