if f(x) is increasing , is f'(x) also increasing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. if f(x) increasing, f'(x) > 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could be increasing or decreasing or neither

OpenStudy (across):

Let's run some tests. \[f(x)=x^2,\]\[f'(x)=2x.\]Both functions are increasing. \[f(x)=\sqrt{x},\]\[f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}.\]One function is increasing whilst the other is decreasing. \[f(x)=2x,\]\[f'(x)=2.\]One function is increasing whilst the other remains constant. Yup.

This is actually pretty clear if you think MVT, the answer is YES.
