MCQ
On the intervl $ (1,3)$, the function $f(x) = 3x + {2 \over x}$ is
  • A
    Strictly decreasing
  • Strictly increasing
  • C
    Decreasing in $ (2, 3) $ only
  • D
    Neither increasing nor decreasing

Answer

Correct option: B.
Strictly increasing
b
(b) $f(x) = 3x + \frac{2}{x}$

==> $f'(x) = 3 - \frac{2}{{{x^2}}}$

Clearly $f'(x) > 0$ on the interval $(1, 3)$ 

$f(x)$ is strictly increasing.
