Class 12 Maths · Applications Of Derivatives · Short Answer #49

Show that f(x)=(x−1)e^x+1 is strictly increasing for x>0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Strictly increasing on (0,∞).
  1. By the product rule, f′=e^x+(x−1)e^x=xe^x.
  2. Both x and e^x are positive for x>0, so f′>0.
  3. The positive derivative proves strict increase on (0,∞).
