MCQ
The interval in which the function ${x^2}{e^{ - x}}$ is non decreasing, is
  • A
    $( - \infty ,\,\,2]$
  • $[0, 2]$
  • C
    $[2,\,\,\infty )$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$[0, 2]$
b
(b) Let $y = f(x) = {x^2}{e^{ - x}}$

==> $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2x{e^{ - x}} - {x^2}{e^{ - x}} = {e^{ - x}}(2x - {x^2})$

Hence $f'(x) \ge 0$ for every $x \in [0,\,2]$

therefore it is non-decreasing in $ [0,2].$
