Question:

The interval of increase of the function $f(x)=x-e^x+\tan(\frac{2π}{7})$ is

Options:

(0, ∞)

(–∞, 0)

(1, ∞)

(–∞, 1)

Correct Answer:

(–∞, 0)

Explanation:

We have $f(x)=x-e^x+\tan(\frac{2π}{7})$

$⇒f'(x)=1-e^x$

For f(x) to be increasing, we must have

$f'(x) > 0 ⇒ 1 - e^x > 0 ⇒ e^x < 1$

$⇒x < 0.⇒x∈(−∞,0)$
