Function $f ( x) = \sin x − \cos x$ is monotonic increasing when
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
$f '( x) = cos x+\sin x$
$=\sqrt{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos x+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin x)=\sqrt{2}\sin(\frac{π}{4}+x)$
Now $f(x)$ is monotonic increasing when $f '(x)>0$
$⇒\sqrt{2}\sin(\frac{π}{4}+x)>0$
$⇒0<\frac{π}{4}+x<π$ (∵ $\sin θ$ is positive when $0 < θ <π$)
$∴x∈(\frac{-π}{4},\frac{3π}{4})$
