(A) Strictly decreasing on \((-\infty, 2) \cup(2, \infty)\)
(B) Strictly increasing on ( \(2, \infty\) )
(C) Strictly increasing on \((-\infty, \infty)\)
(D) Strictly decreasing on \((-\infty, 2)\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (B) and (D) only
  3. C (A), (B) and (C) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 2x-4\) \(2x-4=0 \Rightarrow x=2\) For \(x For \(x > 2\), \(f'(x) > 0\), so \(f(x)\) is strictly increasing on \((2, \infty)\). Thus, (B) and (D) are correct. The correct answer is "(B) and (D) only".
