Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((0,2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)=2 x \mathrm{e}^{-x}-x^2 \mathrm{e}^{-x}=x \mathrm{e}^{-x}(2-x)\)
Since f is increasing, \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x)\gt0\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow x \mathrm{e}^{-x}(2-x)\gt0 \\
& \Rightarrow x(2-x)\gt0 \\
& \Rightarrow 0 \lt x \lt 2 \\
& \Rightarrow x \in(0,2)
\end{aligned}\)
