The range in which \(y=-x^{2}+6 x-3\) is increasing, is

  1. A \(x>3\)
  2. B \(x < 3\)
  3. C \(5 < x < 6\)
  4. D \(7 < x < 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x < 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ y=-x^{2}+6 x-3 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-2 x+6 \] Now, for increasing \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}>0 \Rightarrow-2 x+6>0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 x & < 6 \quad \Rightarrow x < 3 \end{aligned} \] So, for \(x < 3, f(x)\) is increasing.
