Question
Find the intervals in which the function $f$ given by $f(x)=x^2-4 x+6$ is strictly increasing.

Answer

We have, $f(x)=x^2-4 x+6$
$
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=2 x-4
$
$\because f(x)$ is strictly increasing.
$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & f^{\prime}(x)>0 \\
\Rightarrow & 2 x-4>0 \Rightarrow x>2 \\
\Rightarrow & x \in(2, \infty)
\end{array}
$
