If the function f(x)=2 x^3-9 ax ^2+12 a ^2 x +1 , where a 0 , attains its local maximum and local minimum values at p and q , respectively, such that p ^2= q , then f(3) is equal to:
Options
- A55
- B10
- C23
- D37
Correct answer
D. 37
Step-by-step solution
f^ (x)=6 x^2-18 a x+12 a^2 f^ (x)=6 (x^2-3 a x+2 a^2 ) roots are a, 2 a p ^2= q a ^2=2 a a=2 f(x)=2 x^3-18 x^2+48 x+1 f(3)=37
