  1. A \(\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)\)
  2. B \((-\infty, 2)\)
  3. C \((-\infty, 0)\)
  4. D \((-2,2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} & f(x)=\int_x^{x+1} e^{-t^2} d t \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=e^{-(x+1)^2}-e^{-x^2} \\ & f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{e^{(x+1)^2}}-\frac{1}{e^{x^2}} \end{aligned} \] Since, \(f(x)\) is decreasing function.…
