Find the intervals in which the following functions are increasing or decreasing.
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(2+\text{x})-\frac{2\text{x}}{2+\text{x}},\text{x}\in\text{R}$
✓

Answer

$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(2+\text{x})-\frac{2\text{x}}{2+\text{x}},\text{x}\in\text{R}$ $\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{(2+\text{x})}-\frac{[(2+\text{x})2-2\text{x}]}{(2+\text{x})^2}$ $=\frac{(2+\text{x})-[4+2\text{x}-2\text{x}]}{(2+\text{x})^2}$ $=\frac{2+\text{x}-4}{(2+\text{x})^2}$ $=\frac{(\text{x}-2)}{(2+\text{x})^2},\text{x}\neq-2$ Here, x = 2 is the critical point. The possible intervals are $(-\infty,2)$ and $(2,\infty)\ ....(1)$ For f(x) to be increasing, we must have, $\text{f}'(\text{x})>0$ $\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-2)}{(2+\text{x})^2}>0$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}-2>0,\text{x}\neq-2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}>2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(2,\infty)$ [From eq. (1)] So, f(x) is increasing on $\text{x}\in(2,\infty).$ For f(x) to be decreasing, we must have, $\text{f}'(\text{x})<0$ $\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-2)}{(2+\text{x})^2}<0$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}-2<0,\text{x}\neq-2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}<2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,2)$ [From eq. (1)]So, f(x) is decreasing on $\text{x}\in(-\infty,2).$
