The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the function \( f(x) = \ln(2+x) - \frac{2x + 2}{x + 3} \) and evaluate the two statements provided. ### Step 1: Determine the Domain of \( f(x) \) The function \( f(x) \) consists of a logarithmic part \( \ln(2+x) \) and a rational part \( -\frac{2x + 2}{x + 3} \). 1. **Logarithmic part**: The argument of the logarithm must be positive: \[ 2 + x > 0 \implies x > -2 \] 2. **Rational part**: The denominator cannot be zero: \[ x + 3 \neq 0 \implies x \neq -3 \] Thus, the domain of \( f(x) \) is: \[ x \in (-2, \infty) \text{ except } x = -3 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Function for Uniqueness of Solution To check if \( f(x) = 0 \) has a unique solution, we will analyze the behavior of \( f(x) \). 1. **Finding \( f'(x) \)**: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \ln(2+x) \right) - \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{2x + 2}{x + 3} \right) \] - The derivative of \( \ln(2+x) \) is: \[ \frac{1}{2+x} \] - For the rational part, using the quotient rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{2x + 2}{x + 3} \right) = \frac{(2)(x+3) - (2x+2)(1)}{(x+3)^2} = \frac{2x + 6 - 2x - 2}{(x+3)^2} = \frac{4}{(x+3)^2} \] Therefore, we have: \[ f'(x) = \frac{1}{2+x} - \frac{4}{(x+3)^2} \] 2. **Determine the sign of \( f'(x) \)**: - To find where \( f'(x) > 0 \) or \( f'(x) < 0 \), we need to analyze the critical points and the intervals defined by the domain. ### Step 3: Check Monotonicity 1. **Behavior as \( x \to -2 \)**: - As \( x \) approaches -2 from the right, \( f(x) \to \ln(0) \to -\infty \). 2. **Behavior as \( x \to \infty \)**: - As \( x \) approaches infinity, \( f(x) \to \infty \). 3. **Check for critical points**: - Set \( f'(x) = 0 \) to find critical points. This will help us determine the intervals where \( f(x) \) is increasing or decreasing. ### Conclusion on Statements - **Statement I**: The function \( f(x) = 0 \) does not have a unique solution since it is possible for it to cross the x-axis more than once in the domain. - **Statement II**: If \( f(x) \) is continuous and strictly monotonic in an interval, it will have a unique root in that interval. Since we have shown that \( f(x) \) is continuous and strictly increasing in the intervals defined, this statement is true. ### Final Answer - **Statement I**: False - **Statement II**: True
