The function \( f(x)=x^{2}+2 x-5 \) is strictly increasing in the interval

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( [-1, \infty) \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function, \(f(x)=x^{2}+2 x-5\)
We know that, for strictly increasing function \(f^{\prime}(x)>0\)
So, \(2 x+2>0\)
\(\Rightarrow x>-1\)
Therefore, function \(f(x)=x^{2}+2 x-5\) is strictly increasing in the interval \(x \in[-1, \infty)\)
