Question

Find the intervals in which $\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(1+\text{x})-\frac{\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}$ is increasing or decreasing.

✓

Answer

$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(1+\text{x})-\frac{\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{1+\text{x}}-\Big(\frac{(1+\text{x})-\text{x}}{(1+\text{x})^2}\Big)$
$=\frac{1}{1+\text{x}}-\frac{1}{(1+\text{x})^2}$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{(1+\text{x})^2}$
Critical points,
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{(1+\text{x})^2}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=0,-1 $
Clearly, f'(x) > 0 if x > 0 and f'(x) < 0 if -1 < x < 0 or x < -1
Hence, f(x) increases in $(0,\infty),$ decreases in $(-\infty,-1)\cup(-1,0).$

Of the students in a college, it is known that $60\%$ reside in hostel and $40\%$ are day scholars (not residing in hostel). Previous year results report that $30\%$ of all students who reside in hostel attain 'A' grade and $20\%$ of day scholars attain 'A' grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the college and he has an 'A' grade, what is the probability that the student is a hostlier?
