Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Long Answer #54

Find the maximal monotonicity intervals of f(x)=−3ln(1+x)+4ln(2+x)−4/(2+x).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Decreasing on (−1,0], increasing on [0,∞).
  1. The real domain is x>−1. Differentiate: f′=−3/(1+x)+4/(2+x)+4/(2+x)².
  2. A common denominator gives f′=x(x+4)/[(x+1)(x+2)²].
  3. The denominator and x+4 are positive on the domain. Thus f′<0 for −1<x<0 and f′>0 for x>0.
  4. The function strictly decreases on (−1,0] and increases on [0,∞).

  • [0.5 marks] The real domain is x>−1. Differentiate: f′=−3/(1+x)+4/(2+x)+4/(2+x)².
  • [1 mark] A common denominator gives f′=x(x+4)/[(x+1)(x+2)²].
  • [1 mark] The denominator and x+4 are positive on the domain. Thus f′<0 for −1<x<0 and f′>0 for x>0.
  • [0.5 marks] The function strictly decreases on (−1,0] and increases on [0,∞).
