Let k :   R → R be the function defined by the formula k ( x ) = ( x − 1 ) / x for each real number x ≠ 0 .
a. Show that k is increasing for every real number x > 0 .
b. Is k increasing or decreasing for x < 0 ? Prove your answer.

To determine

(a)

To show:

k is increasing for all real numbers x>0.

Explanation

Given information:

Let k:R→R be the function defined by the formula k(x)=(x−1)/x for all real numbers x≠0.

Concept used:

x1 and x2 Are real numbers with x1<x2<0.

Calculation:

Since x1<x2

−x2<−x1 By multiplying by −1 and by the order of the inequality

⇒x1x2−x2<x1x2−x1 By adding x1x2 to both sides

⇒x2(x1−1)<x1(x2−1) By factoring both sides

⇒x1−1x1<x2−1x2 By dividing both sides by the positive numbers x1x2

To determine

(b)

To show:

Is k increasing or decreasing for x<0 ? Prove your answer.
