The intervals for which \(f(x)=x^4-2 x^2\) is increasing are:

  1. A \((-\infty, 1)\)
  2. B \((-1, \infty)\)
  3. C \((-\infty,-1) \cup(0,1)\)
  4. D \((-1,0) \cup(1, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-1,0) \cup(1, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 4x^3 - 4x\) \(4x^3 - 4x > 0\) \(4x(x^2 - 1) > 0\) \(4x(x-1)(x+1) > 0\) \(x \in (-1,0) \cup (1, \infty)\)
