If f (x)=x^3+ b x^2+ c x+ d and 0 < b ^2 < c , then in (- , )
Options
- Af (x) has a local maxima.
- Bf (x) is strictly increasing function.
- Cf (x) is bounded.
- Df (x) is strictly decreasing function.
Correct answer
B. f (x) is strictly increasing function.
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f (x)=x^3+ b x^2+ c x+ d & f ^ (x)=3 x^2+2 ~b x+ c aligned Now its discriminant =4 (b^2-3 c ) 4 ( ~b ^2- c )-8 c 0 f ^ (x)>0 for all x R f is strictly increasing on R .
