The condition that f(x)=a x^3+b x^2+c x+d has no extreme value, is
Options
- Ab^2>3 a c
- Bb^2=4 a c
- Cb^2=3 a c
- Db^2 < 3 a c
Correct answer
D. b^2 < 3 a c
Step-by-step solution
Given curve is f(x)=a x^3+b x^2+c x+d On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get f^ (x)=3 a x^2+2 b x+c For extremum, f^ (x)=0 3 a x^2+2 b x+c=0 Since, it has no extremum value array cl & b^2-4 a c < 0 & (2 b)^2-4 3 a c < 0 & 4 b^2-12 a c < 0 & b^2-3 a c < 0 & b^2 < 3 a c array
