The function f(x)=2 x^3-9 a x^2+12 a^2 x+1(a>0) attains its maximum and minimum at p and q respectively and p^2=q . Then, a=
Options
- A1
- B2
- C1 / 2
- D3
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f(x)=2 x^3-9 a x^2+12 a^2 x+1, a>0 & f^ (x)=6 x^2-18 a x+12 a^2 aligned =6 (x^2-3 a x+2 a^2 )=6(x-a)(x-2 a) For maxima or minima f^ (x)=0 x=a, 2 a p=a and q=2 a According to question, p^2=q and a^2=2 a a(a-2)=0 a=0,2 a=2[ a>0]
