The function \(f(x)=\tan x-x\):

  1. A is a decreasing function on \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
  2. B is an increasing function on \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
  3. C is a constant function
  4. D is neither increasing nor decreasing function on \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) is an increasing function on \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \sec^2 x - 1\) \(f'(x) = \tan^2 x\) For \(x \in \left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), \(\tan^2 x \ge 0\). \(f(x)\) is an increasing function on \(\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\).
