The function $f(x)=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{3}{x}$ is increasing in the interval: |
$(-∞,-3) ∪ (3,∞)$ $(-3,0) ∪ (0,3)$ $(-∞,∞)$ $(0,∞)$ |
$(-∞,-3) ∪ (3,∞)$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $(-∞,-3) ∪ (3,∞)$ ** $f(x)=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{3}{x}$ $f'(x)=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{x^2}$ For increasing function: $f'(x)>0$ $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{x^2}>0$ $\frac{1}{3}>\frac{3}{x^2}$ $x^2>9$ $x<-3$ or $x>3$ The function is increasing on $(-\infty,-3)\cup(3,\infty)$. |
