Solution

fx=log 1+x-x1+xDomain of fx is -1, .f'x=11+x-1+x-x1+x2 =11+x-11+x2 =x1+x2For f(x) to be increasing, we must havef'x>0x1+x2>0x>0 1+x2>0, Domain: -1, x0, So, f(x) is increasing on 0, .For f(x) to be decreasing, we must havef'x<0x1+x2<0x<0 1+x2>0, Domain: -1, x-1, 0So, f(x) is decreasing on -1, 0.
