KCETKCET 2007Application of Derivatives

Solution:

The explanation for the correct answer.
Solve for the range where the function $y=-x^{2}+6 x-3$ is increasing.
$ y=-x^{2}+6 x-3 $
Differentiating with respect to $x$, we get
$ \begin{array}{l} y \prime=-2 x+6 \\ y \text { is increasing if } y \prime>0 \\ \Rightarrow-2 x+6>0 \\ \Rightarrow-2 x>-6 \\ \Rightarrow 2 x<6 \\ \Rightarrow x<3 \end{array} $
