Question -

Show that f(x) = (x– 1) ex + 1 is an increasing function for all x > 0.



Answer -

Given f (x) = (x – 1) ex + 1

Now differentiating the given equation with respect to x, we get

 

 f’(x)= ex + (x – 1) ex

 f’(x)= ex(1+ x – 1)

 f’(x)= x ex

As given x > 0

 ex >0

 xex > 0

 f’(x)> 0

Hence, condition for f(x) to be increasing

Thus f(x) is increasing on interval x > 0
