Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) is less than zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let a function \(f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x}-\log (1+x)\), for \(x>0\) \[ \begin{aligned} \because \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{(x+1)-x}{(1+x)^2}-\frac{1}{(1+x)} \\ & =\frac{1}{(1+x)^2}-\frac{1}{1+x}=\frac{1-(1+x)}{(1+x)^2} \\ & =\frac{-x}{(1+x)^2} 0 \end{aligned} \]…
