Correct answer: C
We need to check on which interval each function is increasing.
A function is increasing where its derivative is non-negative (and typically positive except possibly at isolated points).
1. Option A
Function:
Differentiate:
Since is increasing on all real numbers.
So A is correctly matched.
2. Option B
Function:
Differentiate:
For the interval :
- if , then
- if , then both and , so
Hence is increasing on .
So B is correctly matched.
3. Option C
Function:
Differentiate:
For increasing, we need:
So the function is increasing on
But the given interval is which is actually the interval where the function is decreasing.
So C is incorrectly matched.
4. Option D
Function:
Differentiate:
Now check the interval :
- for , we have and
- so
- hence
Therefore the function is increasing on .
So D is correctly matched.
Final conclusion
The incorrectly matched pair is:
This matches the stored correct answer.
