MCQ
The interval of increase of the function $\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}-\text{e}^{\text{x}}+\tan\Big(\frac{2\pi}{7}\Big)$ is:
  • A
    $(0,\infty)$
  • $(-\infty,0)$
  • C
    $(1,\infty)$
  • D
    $(-\infty,1)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(-\infty,0)$
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}-\text{e}^{\text{x}}+\tan\Big(\frac{2\pi}{7}\Big)$
$f\ '(x) = 1 - e^x$
For $f(x)$ to be increasing, we must have
$f\ '(x) > 0$
$\Rightarrow 1 - e^x > 0$
$\Rightarrow e^x < 1$
$\Rightarrow x < 0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,0)$
So$, f(x)$ is increasing on $(-\infty,0).$
