Question:

The function $f(x)=|x-1|$ is strictly increasing in the interval .

Options:

(0, 1)

(-∞, 0)

(-∞, -1)

(1, ∞)

Correct Answer:

(1, ∞)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (1, ∞)

$f(x)=|x-1|=\left\{\begin{matrix}x-1,&x≥1\\1-x,&x<1\end{matrix}\right.$

$f'(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1,&x≥1\\-1,&x<1\end{matrix}\right.$

f(x) is strictly increasing in (1, ∞)
