Q6.In case of strict increasing functions, slope of the tangent and hence derivative is
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: If f is strictly increasing function , then f ‘ (x) can be 0 also . For example , f(x) = x3 is strictly increasing , but its derivative is 0 at x = 0. As another example , take f(x) = x + cosx ; here f ‘(x) = 1 – sinx , which is either +ve or 0 and the function x + cos x is strictly increasing.
