निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा संकेत एकदिष्ट (monotonic) है?

उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
सही उत्तर: C. x(t) = sin²(2t) + cos²(2t) − 2t
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या

C — sin²(2t) + cos²(2t) = 1, अतः x(t) = 1 − 2t, जिसका अवकलज −2 हमेशा ऋणात्मक है — यह एकदिष्ट ह्रासमान है। t³ − 2t, sin t और log(cos t) दिशा बदलते हैं।

विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

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.
