  1. A increasing function
  2. B decreasing function
  3. C constant function
  4. D Cannot be estimated
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increasing function

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|x-5|=\) \(\begin{cases}x-5, & x \geq 5 \\ -(x-5), & x 7\) \(f(x)=x-5+2(x-7)\) \(=3 x-5-14\) \(\begin{aligned} & f(x)=3 x-19 . \\ & f^{\prime}(x)=3>0\end{aligned}\)
