The function $f(x) = 4x^3-7x^2$ has point(s) of local minima at |
$x = 0$ $x = 0,\frac{7}{6}$ $x = \frac{7}{6}$ $x = \frac{6}{7}$ |
$x = \frac{7}{6}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $x = \frac{7}{6}$ Given function: $f(x) = 4x^3 - 7x^2$ First derivative: $f'(x) = 12x^2 - 14x = 2x(6x - 7)$ Critical points from $f'(x)=0$: $x = 0$ or $x = \frac{7}{6}$ Second derivative: $f''(x) = 24x - 14$ At $x = 0$: $f''(0) = -14 < 0$ ⇒ local maximum. At $x = \frac{7}{6}$: $f''\left(\frac{7}{6}\right) = 24\left(\frac{7}{6}\right) - 14 = 28 - 14 = 14 > 0$ ⇒ local minimum. Therefore, the function has a local minimum at $x = \frac{7}{6}$. |
