Practicing Success
The given function f(x) = x5 – 5x4 + 5x3 – 1; has/have (a) local maxima at x = 1 Choose the correct answer from the options given below |
(a), (b) only (a), (b), (c) only (a), (b), (c), (d) only (a), (c), (e) only |
(a), (b), (c), (d) only |
$f(x)= x^5-5 x^4+5 x^3-1$ $f'(x)= 5 x^4-20 x^3+15 x^2$ $\Rightarrow 5 x^2\left(x^2-4 x+3\right)$ $\Rightarrow 5 x^2(x-1)(x-3)$ so $f'(x) = 0$ $\Rightarrow x = 0, 1 , 3$ $f''(x)=20 x^3-60 x^2+30 x=10 x\left(2 x^2-6 x+3\right)$ So $f''(0)=0$ (point of intersection) $f''(1)=-10<0$ (point of maxima) $f''(3)=10 \times 3(3)>0$ (point of minima) $f(3)=3^5-5 \times 3^4+5 \times 3^3-1=-28$ (minimum value) Option: 3 |
