Question 57

MediumOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. tan⁡x\tan x is strictly increasing on (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right).

II. cot⁡x\cot x is strictly increasing on (0,π)(0, \pi).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. I: ddxtan⁡x=sec⁡2x>0\frac{d}{dx}\tan x = \sec^{2} x > 0 on (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right). True.

  2. II: ddxcot⁡x=−cosec⁡2x<0\frac{d}{dx}\cot x = -\operatorname{cosec}^{2} x < 0, so cot⁡x\cot x is strictly decreasing on (0,π)(0, \pi). False.
