CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/3/3 · Question 23 (Applications Of Derivatives)

Find where f(x)=x ln x increases on (0,∞).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (1/e,∞), with 1/e also valid as an endpoint.
  1. Differentiate to get f′=1+ln x.
  2. This is zero at x=1/e and positive for x>1/e.
  3. The function increases from 1/e onward.
