Show that `f(x)=tan^(-1)x-x` is decreasing function on `Rdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f(x)=tan ^-1 x-x`
`f^prime(x)=1/(1+x^2)-1`
`=(1-1-x^2)/(1+x^2)`
`=(-x^2)/(1+x^2)`
We know,
`x^2 geq 0,1+x^2>0, forall x in R `
`therefore -x^21+x^2<0, forall x in R `
`Rightarrow f^prime(x)<0, forall x in R`
