Let , . Then, f is :
- Aincreasing in
- Bdecreasing in
- Cincreasing in
- Ddecreasing in
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
We need to determine where is increasing or decreasing on the given intervals.
-
Differentiate : Factor it: Now factor the quadratic: So,
-
Now analyze the sign of each factor on the domain
-
On this interval, So, throughout the interval.
-
Also, on we have
Thus the sign of depends on
- Check interval :
Here, So,
Hence, on . Therefore, is decreasing on So option is correct, and option is false.
- Check interval :
Here, Therefore, on . So is increasing there. Hence option is false.
- Check option : increasing on the whole interval This is false because:
- on
- on So it is not increasing on the entire interval.
- Final conclusion: Only option is correct.
