MCQ
The function $\text{f}(\text{x})=2\log(\text{x}-2)-\text{x}^2+4\text{x}+1$ increases on the interval:
  • A
    (1, 2)
  • (2, 3)
  • C
    (1, 3)
  • D
    (2, 4)

Answer

Correct option: B.
(2, 3)
Given, $\text{f}(\text{x})=2\log(\text{x}-2)-\text{x}^2+4\text{x}+1$

Domain of f(x) is $(2,\infty).$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{2}{\text{x}-2}-2\text{x}+4$
$=\frac{2-2\text{x}^2+4\text{x}+4\text{x}-8}{\text{x}-2}$
$=\frac{-2\text{x}^2+8\text{x}-6}{\text{x}-2}$
$=\frac{-2(\text{x}^2-4\text{x}+3)}{\text{x}-2}$
For f(x) to be increasing, we must have
$\text{f}'(\text{x})>0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-2(\text{x}^2-4\text{x}+3)}{\text{x}-2}>0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-4\text{x}+3<0$ $[\because\ \text{x}(\text{x}-2)>0\ \&-2<0]$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-1)(\text{x}-3)<0$
$\Rightarrow1<\text{x}<3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(1,3)$
Also, the domain of f(x) is $(2,\infty).$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(1,3)\cap(2,\infty)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(1,3)$
