MCQ
Which of the following is not a decreasing function on the interval $\left( {0,{\pi \over 2}} \right)$
  • A
    $\cos x$
  • B
    $\cos 2x$
  • $\cos 3x$
  • D
    $\cot x$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\cos 3x$
c
(c) Obviously here $\cos 3x$ is not decreasing in $\left( {0,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$

because $\frac{d}{{dx}}\cos 3x = - 3\sin 3x$

But at $x = 75^\circ ,\,\, - 3\sin 3x > 0$.

Hence the result.
