Question:

If $f(x) =\int\limits_0^x(t+1) (e^t –1) (t – 2) (t + 4) dt$ then f(x) would assume the local minima at

Options:

x = - 4

x = 0

x = -1

none of these

Correct Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:

Here, $f'(x)= (x + 1) (e^x – 1) (x – 2) ( x + 4)$

Clearly x = -1 and x = 2 are the points of local minima.

Hence (C) is the correct answer.
