Let f x be a cubic function such that f ′ 1 = f ″ 2 = 0. If x = 1 is a point of local maxima of f x , then the local minimum value of f x occurs at
Options
- Ax = 0
- Bx = 2
- Cx = 4
- Dx = 3
Correct answer
D. x = 3
Step-by-step solution
Let f ″ x = 6 λ x − 2 ⇒ f ' x = 3 λ x 2 − 4 x + c As f ′ 1 = 0 ⇒ c = 9 λ i.e. f ' x = 3 λ x 2 − 4 x + 9 λ Also, f ' 3 = 0 Hence, x = 3 is the other point of extrema.
