Let f(x) = x + 2 * x^2 * sin (1/x) when x is not equal to 0, f(x) = 0 when x = 0.
Then the derivative: f'(x) = 1 + 4x * sin (1/x) - 2cos (1/x) when x is not equal to 0 and f'(0) = 1.
For any neighbourhood of x=0 the derivative f'(x) has positive and negative values. So, there is no neighbourhood of x=0 such that f(x) is monotone there.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
