The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $ f(x)=kx-\cos x $ and $ x\in R $
$ f'(x)=k+\sin x $ Since, the function $ f(x) $
is monotonically increase for all
$ x\in R $ .
$ \therefore $ $ f'(x)>0,\,\,\,\forall \,\,\,\,x\in R $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ f'\left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right)>0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ k+\sin \frac{\pi }{2}>0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ k+1>0 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ k>-1 $

Various Applications of Derivatives-

Rate of Change of Quantities:

If some other quantity ‘y’ causes some change in a quantity of surely ‘x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets consistently pleased, i.e, ‘y’ is a function of ‘x’ then the rate of change of ‘y’ related to ‘x’ is to be given by 

\(\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

This is also known to be as the Average Rate of Change.

Increasing and Decreasing Function:

Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).

  • If for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≤ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as increasing in this interval.
  • Likewise, if for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≥ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as decreasing in this interval.
  • The functions are commonly known as strictly increasing or decreasing functions, given the inequalities are strict: f(x1) < f(x2) for strictly increasing and f(x1) > f(x2) for strictly decreasing.
