Q36 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (28 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

The function fx=xex1-x,x∈R, is

  • Correct answer
    A
    increasing in -12,1
  • B
    decreasing in 12,2
  • C
    increasing in -1,-12
  • D
    decreasing in -12,12

Solution

Let fx=xex1-x then fx is:

Now fx=xex1-x

Differentiating both side w.r.t x we get,

f'x=xex1-x1-2x+ex1-x

=-ex1-x2x2-x-1

=-ex1-x2x+1x-1

Now finding critical point by equating f'x=0

We get, x=-12 & x=1

∴  fx is decreasing in -∞,-12∪1,∞

And increasing in -12,1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
