If \(f(x)=x+\log \left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)\) is a well-defined real valued function then \(f\) is

  1. A monotonically decreasing function
  2. B monotonically increasing function
  3. C increasing in \((1, \infty)\) and decreasing in \((-\infty,-1)\)
  4. D decreasing in \((1, \infty)\) and increasing in \((-\infty,-1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) monotonically increasing function

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(x+\log \left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)\right)\) \(f'(x) = 1 + \frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x+1}\) \(f'(x) = 1 + \frac{(x+1)-(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)}\) \(f'(x) = 1 + \frac{2}{x^2-1}\) Domain: \(\frac{x-1}{x+1} > 0 \implies x \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)\) For…
