નીચેનામાંથી કયો સંકેત એકદિશ (monotonic) છે?

જવાબ અને પગલાવાર ઉકેલ
સાચો જવાબ: C. x(t) = sin²(2t) + cos²(2t) − 2t
ટૂંકી સમજૂતી

C — sin²(2t) + cos²(2t) = 1, તેથી x(t) = 1 − 2t, જેનું વિકલજ −2 હંમેશા ઋણ છે — તે એકદિશ ઘટતો છે. t³ − 2t, sin t અને log(cos t) દિશા બદલે છે.

વિગતવાર ઉકેલ (મૂળ ભાષામાં)

Concept & Reasoning

The safest method is to differentiate candidate continuous-time functions. A derivative that keeps one sign indicates monotonic behavior. Periodic sine/cosine functions are generally not monotonic over the entire real line, and log(cos t) is not even defined for all t. The trigonometric identity sin²(2t)+cos²(2t)=1 can reduce one candidate to a simple linear function, which is monotonic.

How to Solve It in the Exam

Simplify identities before differentiating.

Important Exam Point

Monotonic does not mean 'always positive'; it means consistently non-increasing or non-decreasing.

Quick Trick

Simplify identities before differentiating.

Common Mistake

Rejecting a decreasing straight line because it is not increasing.
