Question
Function $\text{f}(\text{x})=\log_\text{a}\text{x}$ is increasing on R, if:
  1. 0 < a < 1
  2. a > 1
  3. a < 1
  4. a > 0
✓

Answer

  1. a > 1
Solution:
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log_\text{a}\text{x}=\frac{\log\text{x}}{\log\text{a}}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{\text{x}\log\text{a}}$
Given: f(x) is increasing on R.
$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(\text{x})>0,\forall\ \text{x}\in\text{R}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}\log\text{a}}>0,\forall\ \text{x}\in\text{R}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}>1$
