The intervals in which the function \(f(x) = 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 12x + 20\) is increasing is given by:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((-\infty,-2) \cup(-1, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 6x^2 + 18x + 12\) \(6x^2 + 18x + 12 > 0\) \(x^2 + 3x + 2 > 0\) \((x+1)(x+2) > 0\) \(x -1\) \((-\\infty,-2) \cup (-1, \\infty)\)
