Question
Is the function $cos2x$ decreasing on ($0, \frac{\pi}{2}$)?
✓
Answer
Let f(x) = cos 2x $\therefore$ $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})$ = -2 sin 2x Now, $0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow$ $0<2 x<\pi$ $\Rightarrow$ sin 2x > 0 $\Rightarrow$ -2 sin 2x < 0 $\therefore$ $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})$ = -2 sin 2x < 0 on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ Therefore, f(x) = cos 2x is strictly decreasing in interval $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
