Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(f\) is increasing in \((-\infty, 0)\) and \((2, \infty)\) and decreasing \(\operatorname{lin}(0,2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function is, \(f(x)=e^{x}(x-2)^{2}\) \[ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x) &=e^{x}(x-2)^{2}+2(x-2) e^{x} \\ &=e^{x}(x-2)(x-2+2)=x(x-2) e^{x} \end{aligned} \] Now, sign scheme of \(f^{\prime}(x)\) is So, \(t\) is increasing in \((-\infty, 0)\) and \((2, \infty)\) and…
