Question
Prove that the function f given by f(x) = log cos x is strictly increasing on (−π/2, 0) and strictly decreasing on (0, π/2) ?
Solution
\[f\left( x \right) = \log \cos x\]
\[f'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{\cos x}\left( - \sin x \right)\]
\[ = - \tan x\]
\[\text { Now,} \]
\[x \in \left( - \frac{\pi}{2}, 0 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan x < 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow - \tan x > 0 \]
\[ \Rightarrow f'(x) > 0\]
\[\text { So, f(x) is strictly increasing on } \left( - \frac{\pi}{2}, 0 \right) . \]
\[\text { Now,} \]
\[x \in \left( 0, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan x > 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow - \tan x < 0 \]
\[ \Rightarrow f'(x) < 0\]
\[\text { So, f(x)is strictly decreasing on }\left( 0, \frac{\pi}{2} \right).\]

∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`
Since f(x) is decreasing function.
∴ f'(x) < 0
Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`
