The set of all real values of ' a ' such that the real valued function f(x)=x^3+2 a x^2+3(a+1) x+5 is strictly increasing in its entire domain is
Options
- A(- ,- 3 4 ) (3, )
- B(- 3 4 , 3 )
- C(1,3)
- D(- , 1) (3, )
Correct answer
B. (- 3 4 , 3 )
Step-by-step solution
Given f(x)=x^3+2 a x^2+3(a+1) x+5 Now, f^ (x)=3 x^2+4 a x+3(a+1) for strictly increasing of f(x) in its entire domain aligned & (4 a)^2-4 3 3(a+1) 0 & 16 a^2-36(a+1) 0 aligned 4 a^2-9 a-9 0 (4 a+3)(a-3) 0 So, a ( -3 4 , 3 )
