    The function \[f(x)=\frac{x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\]decreases in the interval             

    A) \[(-\infty ,-1)\cup [1,\infty )\]

    B) \[(-1,1)\]

    C) \[(-\infty ,\infty )\]           

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : Given, \[f(x)=\frac{x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f'(x)=\frac{(1+{{x}^{2}})(1)-(x)(2x)}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{1+{{x}^{2}}-2{{x}^{2}}}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}=\frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}\] For decreasing function \[f'(x)<0,\frac{1-{{x}^{2}}}{{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[1-{{x}^{2}}<0\]and \[{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}>0\]                  ...(i) So, function decreases in the interval \[(-\infty ,-1]\cup [1,\infty )\]
