Consider the functions I. e^{-x} II. x^{2} - \sin x III. \sqrt{x^3+1} Which of the above functions is/are increasing everywhere in [0, 1] ? (A) â…¢ only (B) â…¡ only (C) â…¡ and â…¢ only (D) â…  and â…¢ only

Answer: (A)

Explanation: If the derivative of a function is positive in given domain, then it is increasing function, else decreasing function. So, I.  \frac{\partial }{\partial \:x}\left(e^{-x}\right) = -e^{-x} II.  \frac{\partial }{\partial \:x}\left(x^2-\sin\:x\right) = 2x-\cos \left(x\right) III.  \frac{\partial }{\partial \:x}\left(\sqrt{x^3+1}\right) = \frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{x^3+1}}  Therefore, only (III) is increasing everywhere in [0, 1]. Option (A) is correct.
