Question:

Which of the following function is increasing for all values of x in the domain (0, ∞) ?

Options:

$1-x^2$

$\frac{1}{x}$

$8-x^2$

$x|x|$

Correct Answer:

$x|x|$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $x|x|$

$f(x)=x|x|$

for $x>0$,

$f(x)=x^2$

and,

$f'(x)=2x>0$  $(\forall x>0)$

∴ $x|x|$ is increasing function in $(0, ∞)$.
