If \(f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x}\), then for x > 1, f(x) is:

  1. A decreasing
  2. B constant
  3. C increasing
  4. D neither decreasing nor increasing
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) increasing

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}((1-x)^{-1}) = -1(1-x)^{-2}(-1) = \frac{1}{(1-x)^2}\) For \(x > 1\), \((1-x)^2 > 0\) \(f'(x) > 0\) increasing
