The function \(f(x)=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{x}, x \neq 0\) is increasing on :
(A) \((-\infty,-2)\)
(B) \((-2,2)\)
(C) \((2, \infty)\)
(D) \((-1,1)\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A (B) only
- B (B) and (D) only
- C (A) and (C) only
- D (C) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) (A) and (C) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{2}{x} \right) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{x^2}\) \(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{x^2} > 0\) \(\frac{1}{2} > \frac{2}{x^2}\) \(x^2 > 4\) \(x 2\) Increasing on \((-\infty, -2)\) and \((2, \infty)\)
