How do I prove: x-Sin(x) is always increasing for x>0 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Take the derivative and show that the derivative is always positive for x > 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I took the derivative but how do that show that it's always increasing?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = x - sin(x) y' = 1 - cos(x) ... you got this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Never mind. I think I got it.

alright great
