If f : R → R is a differentiable function such that f ′ x > 2 f ( x ) for all x ∈ R…

If f:RR is a differentiable function such that fx>2f(x) for all xR and f0=1 then
  1. fx>e2x in (0,)
  2. fx is decreasing in (0,)
  3. fx is increasing in (0,)
  4. f '( x )< e 2x  in (0,)

Solution

Given that,

f'x>2 fx  xR

    f'x-2fx>0    xR

    e-2x f'x-2fx>0  xR

   ddxe-2x fx>0  xR

Let  gx=e-2x fx

Now,  g'x>0  xR

    gx is strictly increasing  xR

Also  g0=1

   gx>g0=1

    e-2x. fx>1  x0,     fx>e2x  x0, 

As,  f'x>2 fx>2e2x>2 x0, 

    fx  is strictly increasing on x0,
