Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
For a function to be increasing on an interval , the derivative must be non-negative throughout that interval.
Given:
Taking the derivative:
For to be increasing on :
for all
Since must hold for all values of in , must be less than or equal to the minimum value of on this interval.
The function is increasing, so its minimum on occurs at :
Therefore:
The interval for is .
