Q.

What is the nature of function of f(x)=7x-4 on R 

1 Increasing  
2 Decreasing  
3 Strictly increasing  
4 Increasing and decreasing  

Ans.

(3)

Ans.           Strictly increasing

Explanation:

Let x1 and x2 be any two numbers in R.

Then,         x1<x2

⇒         7x1<7x2

⇒  7x1-4<7x2-4

As, f(x1)<f(x2).  Thus, the function f is strictly increasing on R.
