your expression is not so clear so I take the liberty to interpret it in my way
f(x) = |x2|x2

Since x2 is always greater than 0 so mod of x2 is always positive

So f(x) becomes x4

which is decreasing when x<0 and increasing when x>0

f(x)=|x-2|/x^2 for x>2
=2-x/x^2 for x<2
f'(x)=(4/x^3)-(1/x^2) for x>2
=-((4/x^3)-(1/x^2)) for x<2
for strictly increasing f'(x)>0
(4/x^3)-(1/x^2) >0 for x>2
x>4 for x>2 imply 2<x<4
-((4/x^3)-(1/x^2)) >0 for x<2
1/x^2<-4/x^3 for x<0 imply x<-4
for strictly decreasing f'(x)<0
(4/x^3)-(1/x^2) <0 for x>2
x<4 for x>2 imply x>4
-((4/x^3)-(1/x^2)) <0 for x<2
1/x^2<-4/x^3 for x<2 imply -4<x<2
