\(F(x)=\cos x-1+\frac{x^2}{2!}, x \in \mathbb{R}\). Then \(f(x)\) is

  1. A decreasing function
  2. B increasing function
  3. C neither increasing nor decreasing
  4. D constant \(\forall x\gt0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) neither increasing nor decreasing

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(f(x)=\cos x-1+\frac{x^2}{2!}, x \in R \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x-0+\frac{2 x}{2!}=x-\sin x\) \(\begin{array}{lll} f^{\prime}(x)\gt0 & \forall x\gt0 & \because x\gt\sin x \\ f^{\prime}(x) \lt 0 & \forall x \lt 0 & \because x \lt \sin x \end{array}\)…
