MCQ
The function $f(x) = \log (1 + x) - {{2x} \over {2 + x}}$ is increasing on
  • (0, $\infty $)
  • B
    ($ - \infty $, 0)
  • C
    $( - \infty ,\infty )$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
(0, $\infty $)
a
(a) $f(x) = \log (1 + x) - \frac{{2x}}{{2 + x}}$

$ \Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{1}{{1 + x}} - \frac{{(2 + x).(2 - 2x)}}{{{{(2 + x)}^2}}}$

==> $f'(x) = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{(x + 1){{(x + 2)}^2}}}$

Obviously, $f'(x) > 0$ for all $x > 0$

Hence $f(x)$ is increasing on $(0,\infty )$.
