MCQ
The function $f$ defined by $f(x)=4 x^4-2 x+1$ is increasing for
  • A
    $x<1$
  • B
    $x>0$
  • C
    $x<\frac{1}{2}$
  • $x>\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$x>\frac{1}{2}$
(d) : We have, $f(x)=4 x^4-2 x+1 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=16 x^3-2$
The function is increasing if $f^{\prime}(x)>0$
$
\Rightarrow 16 x^3-2>0 \Rightarrow x>\frac{1}{2}
