Let f(x) and g(x) be defined and differentiable for all $x \geq x_0$ and $f\left(x_{0)}=g\left(x_0\right), f'(x)>g'(x)\right.$ for $x>x_0$, then |
$f(x)<g(x), x>x_0$ $f(x)=g(x), x=x_0$ $f(x)>g(x), x>x_0$ none of these |
$f(x)>g(x), x>x_0$ |
Let $h(x)=f(x)-g(x)$ for all $x \geq x_0$. Since, f(x) and g(x) are differentiable for all $x \geq x_0$. Therefore, so is h(x). Now, $h(x)=f(x)-g(x)$ for all $x \geq x_0$ $\Rightarrow h'(x)=f'(x)-g'(x)$ $\Rightarrow h'(x)>0 $ for all $x>x_0$ [∵ f'(x) > g'(x) for all $x>x_0$] ⇒ h(x) is an increasing function for all $x>x_0$ $\Rightarrow h(x)>h\left(x_0\right) $ for all $x>x_0 $ $\Rightarrow h(x)>0 $ for all $x>x_0$ $\left[∵ h\left(x_0\right)=f\left(x_0\right)-g\left(x_0\right)=0\right]$ $\Rightarrow f(x)>g(x) $ for all $x>x_0$ |
