The interval in which the function f(x)=log⁡e(2+x)−2x2+xf(x) = \log_e(2+x) - \frac{2x}{2+x} is increasing is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

f′(x)=12+x−4(2+x)2=x−2(2+x)2f'(x) = \frac{1}{2+x} - \frac{4}{(2+x)^2} = \frac{x-2}{(2+x)^2}. The denominator is positive on the domain x>−2x > -2, so f′(x)>0f'(x) > 0 exactly when x>2x > 2, giving (2,∞)(2,\infty).
