Differentiability
Question

 Consider the following statements S and R

S: Both sinx and cosx are decreasing functions in π2,π

R If __ a differentiable function decreases in an interval (a,b), then its derivative  also decreases in (a,b)

Which of the following is true?

Moderate
Solution

y=cosx       or      sinxdydx=sinx   or   cosx

 Both are -ve in π2,π, Hence S is correct. 

Again, if a differentiable function decreases, then its derivative

f'(x)=ve.

 It is not necessary that its derivative f′′(x) may be +ve and hence it may 

be increasing or decreasing.  Hence R is not correct.
Hence (4) is the correct answer
