Question:

If m and M respectively the minimum and maximum of $f(x)=(x-1)^2+3$ for $x \in[-3,1]$, then the ordered pair (m, M) is equal to

Options:

$(-3,19)$

$(3,19)$

$(-19,3)$

$(-19,-3)$

Correct Answer:

$(3,19)$

Explanation:

We have,

$f(x)=(x-1)^2+3$

$\Rightarrow f'(x)=2(x-1)<0$ for all $x \in[-3,1]$

So, f(x) is decreasing $[-3,1]$

$\Rightarrow m=f(1)$ and $M=f(-3) \Rightarrow$ m = 3 and M = 19

∴  $(m, M)=(3,19)$.
