HardOriginal question

Find the interval(s) on which f(x)=[x(x−4)]2f(x) = [x(x - 4)]^2 is strictly increasing.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. f′(x)=4x(x−4)(x−2)f'(x) = 4 x \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 2\right), which is 0 at x=0,2,4x = 0, 2, 4.

  2. Testing the sign between these points, f′(x)>0f'(x) > 0 on (0,2)∪(4,∞)(0, 2) \cup (4, \infty).

Worth noting

(−∞,0)∪(2,4)(-\infty, 0) \cup (2, 4) is where the sign is the other way.
