Statement I : f is differentiable for all .
Statement II : f is increasing in .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (A)Both Statement I and Statement II are true✓ Correct
- (B)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- (C)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- (D)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: (A)
Solution
Write . For , , giving ; for , , so and . The two one-sided derivatives agree, so is differentiable at and hence everywhere; Statement I holds. On we have with , where , so and is increasing there; Statement II holds. Therefore both Statement I and Statement II are true.
