If $m$ and $M$ respectively denote 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
  1. $(-3,19)$
  2. $(3,19)$
  3. $(-19,3)$
  4. $(-19,-3)$

Solution

Given that, $ f(x)=(x-1)^2+3, \quad x \in[-3,1] $ On differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $ f^{\prime}(x)=2(x-1) $ For maxima and minima, put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ $ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & 2(x-1) & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & x & =1 \end{aligned} $ Now, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=2$, minima $\forall x \in R$ At $\quad x=1$, $ f(1)=(1-1)^2+3=3 $ At $ \begin{aligned} x & =-3, \\ f(-3) & =(-3-1)^2+3=19 \end{aligned} $ Here, $m=3$ and $M=19$ Hence, required ordered pair is $(3,19)$
