Given:- Function f(x) = log sin x

Theorem:- Let f be a differentiable real function defined on an open interval (a, b).

(i) If f’(x) > 0 for all , then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)

(ii) If f’(x) < 0 for all , then f(x) is decreasing on (a, b)

Algorithm:-

(i) Obtain the function and put it equal to f(x)

(ii) Find f’(x)

(iii) Put f’(x) > 0 and solve this inequation.

For the value of x obtained in (ii) f(x) is increasing and for remaining points in its domain it is decreasing.

Here we have,

Taking different region from 0 to π

Thus f(x) is increasing in \(\big(0, \frac{\pi}{2} \big)\)

Thus f(x) is decreasing in \(\big(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi \big)\)

As cot 0 is &#39;∞&#39; ans cotπ/2 is &#39;0&#39; . It&#39;s it decreasing
