Q.

Find the interval in which function f(x)=x2-4x+5 is increasing:

1 (2,∞)  
2 (-∞,2)  
3 (3,∞)  
4 (-∞,∞)  

Ans.

(1)

Ans.        (2,∞)

Explanation:

Here,        f(x)=x2-4x+5

Then,      f'(x)=2x-4

∴         f'(x)=0

Then,             x=2

Now, the point x=2 divides the line into two disjoint intervals, and the interval namely (2,∞) is increasing on f(x).
