  1. A \((1,2)\)
  2. B \((2,6)\)
  3. C \((2,3)\)
  4. D \((3, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((2,3)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{2}{x-2} - 2x + 4\) \(f'(x) > 0 \implies \frac{2}{x-2} - 2x + 4 > 0\) \(\frac{2 - 2x(x-2) + 4(x-2)}{x-2} > 0\) \(\frac{-2x^2 + 8x - 6}{x-2} > 0\) \(\frac{-2(x-1)(x-3)}{x-2} > 0\) \(\frac{(x-1)(x-3)}{x-2} For \(x>2\): If \(x \in (2,3)\):…
