Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x>3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(y=-x^{2}+6 x-3\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=-2 x+6=y^{\prime}\)
\(y\) is increasing, if \(y^{\prime}>0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad-2 x+6>0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad-2 x>-6\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2 x>6\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x>3\)
