Mark the correct alternative in the following:
If the function f(x) = x2 – kx + 5 is increasing on [2, 4], then
Formula:- (i) 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) = x2 – kx + 5
For increasing function f’(x)>o
2x-k>0
K<2x
Putting x=2
K<4
kϵ (–∞, 4)
