Definite-Integration Question 525

Question: If $ f(x)=\int_{x^{2}}^{x^{2}+1}{{e^{-t^{2}}}}dt, $ then $ f(x) $ increases in

[IIT Screening 2003]

Options:

A) $ (2,2) $

B) No value of $ x $

C) $ (0,\infty ) $

D) $ (-\infty ,0) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ f’(x)={e^{-{{(x^{2}+1)}^{2}}}}.2x-{e^{-{{(x^{2})}^{2}}}}.2x=2x{e^{-(x^{4}+1+2x^{2})}}( 1-{e^{2x^{2}+1}} ) $
Þ $ f’(x)>0,\forall x\in (-\infty ,0). $
