The interval in which y = x2 e–x is increasing is
it is given that y = x2 e–x
then
Now if
⇒ x = 0 and x =2
The points x = 0 and x= 2 divide the real line into three disjoint intervals ie, (-∞,0), (0,2) and (2,∞).
In interval (-∞,0) and (2,∞),
f’(x) < 0 as e-x is always positive.
Therefore, f is decreasing on (-∞,0) and (2,∞).
In interval (0,2), f’(x)>0
Therefore, f is strictly increasing in interval (0.2).
