The correct Answer is:
To determine the intervals where the function \( f(x) = x - \frac{\log(1+x)}{x} \) is increasing for \( x > 0 \), we need to find the derivative \( f'(x) \) and analyze its sign. ### Step 1: Find the derivative \( f'(x) \) Given: \[ f(x) = x - \frac{\log(1+x)}{x} \] We can differentiate \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) - \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\log(1+x)}{x}\right) \] The derivative of \( x \) is \( 1 \). For the second term, we will use the quotient rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2} \] where \( u = \log(1+x) \) and \( v = x \). Calculating \( u' \) and \( v' \): - \( u' = \frac{1}{1+x} \) - \( v' = 1 \) Now applying the quotient rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\log(1+x)}{x}\right) = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{1+x}\right)x - \log(1+x)(1)}{x^2} \] \[ = \frac{x}{(1+x)x} - \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} \] \[ = \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} \] Thus, \[ f'(x) = 1 - \left(\frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2}\right) \] \[ = 1 - \frac{1}{1+x} + \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} \] \[ = \frac{(1+x) - 1}{1+x} + \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} \] \[ = \frac{x}{1+x} + \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the sign of \( f'(x) \) To determine where \( f(x) \) is increasing, we need \( f'(x) > 0 \): \[ \frac{x}{1+x} + \frac{\log(1+x)}{x^2} > 0 \] Since \( x > 0 \), we know: - \( \frac{x}{1+x} > 0 \) - \( \log(1+x) > 0 \) for \( x > 0 \) Thus, both terms are positive for \( x > 0 \). ### Step 3: Conclusion Since \( f'(x) > 0 \) for all \( x > 0 \), the function \( f(x) \) is increasing for \( x > 0 \). ### Final Answer The function \( f(x) \) is increasing in the interval \( (0, \infty) \). ---
