    The function \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}x+x\] increases in the interval:

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

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

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

    D) \[(0,\,\,\infty )\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: A function is said to be increasing, if \[f'(x)>0\] and it said be decreasing if\[f'(x)<0\]. Given,   \[f(x)={{\cot }^{-1}}x+x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f'(x)=-\frac{1}{1+{{x}^{2}}}+1\] \[=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}}f(x)\]clearly, \[f'(x)>0\] for all\[x\]. So, \[f(x)\] increases in\[(-\infty ,\,\,\infty )\].
