Which of the following is NOT true for the function $f(x)=x^2-4x, x\in [0, 4]$ ? |
f is decreasing in (0, 2) x=2 is the local minima of f. $f(x)= 3$ has two positive solutions $f(x) = - 2$ has two positive solutions. |
$f(x)= 3$ has two positive solutions |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $f(x)= 3$ has two positive solutions $f(x)=x^2-4x$ and, $f(x)=3$ $∴x^2-4x=3$ $⇒x^2-4x-3=0$ $⇒x=\frac{4±\sqrt{16+12}}{2}=\frac{4±\sqrt{28}}{2}$ $⇒x=\frac{4-\sqrt{28}}{2}<0$ and $x=\frac{4+\sqrt{28}}{2}>0$ $∴f(x)=3$ has one positive and one negative solutions. |
