Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Short Answer #46

Determine whether f(x)=cos(2x+π/4) is increasing or decreasing on (3π/8,7π/8).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Strictly increasing.
  1. f′(x)=−2sin(2x+π/4).
  2. For 3π/8<x<7π/8, π<2x+π/4<2π, so sine is negative and f′>0.
  3. Therefore f is strictly increasing on the entire stated interval.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] f′(x)=−2sin(2x+π/4).
  • [1 mark] For 3π/8<x<7π/8, π<2x+π/4<2π, so sine is negative and f′>0.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore f is strictly increasing on the entire stated interval.
