CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/5/3 · Question 23 (Applications Of Derivatives)
Where is f(x)=x/3+3/x increasing for x≠0?
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: (−∞,−3] and [3,∞), with positive derivative on the interiors.
- Differentiate to obtain f′=(x²−9)/(3x²).
- The denominator is positive, so f′>0 exactly for |x|>3.
- The two increasing intervals extend to the endpoints −3 and 3.
