Question
Show that the function given by $f(x)=\sin x$ is neither increasing nor decreasing in $(0, \pi)$
✓
Answer
The function is $f(x)=\sin x$ Then, $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x$ Since for each $x \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right), \cos x >0$, we have $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ Therefore, $f$ is strictly increasing in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$. Now, The function is $f ( x )=\sin x$ Then, $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x$ Since, for each $x \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right), \cos x <0$, we have $f^{\prime}(x)<0$ Therefore, $f$ is strictly decreasing in $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right) \ldots . .(2)$ From (1) and (2), It is clear that f is neither increasing nor decreasing in $(0, \pi)$.
