  2. B \(f(x) < 0\) for all \(x>0\)
  3. C no sign of \(f(x)\) can be ascertained
  4. D \(f(x)\) is a constant function
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(f(x)>0\) for all \(x>0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(g(x)=e^{-x} f(x)\) \(\therefore\) \(g^{\prime}(x)=e^{-x} f^{\prime}(x)-e^{-x} f(x)\) \(\quad=e^{-x}\left(f^{\prime}(x)-f(x)\right)\) Since, \(f^{\prime}(x)>f(x),\) so \(f^{\prime}(x)-f(x)>0\) \(\therefore e^{-x}\left(f^{\prime}(x)-f(x)\right)>0\)…
