Mark the correct alternative in the following:

The function f(x) = 2log(x – 2) – x2 + 4x + 1 increases on the interval.


Formula:- The necessary and sufficient condition for differentiable function defined on (a,b) to be strictly increasing on (a,b) is that f’(x)>0 for all x(a,b)


Given:-


f(x) = 2log(x – 2) – x2 + 4x + 1



f(x)=


now for increasing


f(x)>0



3<0 and x-2>0


and x>2


1
