  1. A increasing on \(\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]\)
  2. B decreasing on \(\mathbb{R}\)
  3. C increasing on \(\mathbb{R}\)
  4. D decreasing on \(\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increasing on \(\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(x e^{x-x^2}\right) = 1 \cdot e^{x-x^2} + x \cdot e^{x-x^2} \cdot (1-2x)\) \(f'(x) = e^{x-x^2} (1 + x - 2x^2)\) \(f'(x) = -e^{x-x^2} (2x^2 - x - 1)\) \(f'(x) = -e^{x-x^2} (2x+1)(x-1)\) For \(f(x)\) to be increasing, \(f'(x) > 0\).…
