If the function f(x)=x^3+2 p x^2+27 x+16 is strictly increasing for all x R , then the range of p is
Options
- A(- , -9 2 ) ( 9 2 , )
- B(- ,-9) (9, )
- C( -9 2 , 9 2 )
- D(-9,9)
Correct answer
C. ( -9 2 , 9 2 )
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f(x)=x^3+2 p x^2+27 x+16 & f^ (x)=3 x^2+4 p x+27 aligned f(x) is strictly increasing function, so f^ (x)>0 3 x^2+4 p x+27>0 Possible only when its D < 0 aligned (4 p)^2-4(3)(27) & < 0 16 p^2-4 81 & < 0 p^2- 81 4 & < 0 (p+ 9 2 ) (p- 9 2 ) & < 0 p & (- 9 2 , 9 2 ) . aligned
