Let a be a real number such that the function f(x)=ax2+6x-15,xR is increasing in -,34 and decreasing in 34,. Then the function g(x)=ax2-6x+15,xR has a
  1. local maximum at x=-34
  2. local minimum at x=-34
  3. local maximum at x=34
  4. local minimum at x=34

Solution

We have,

fx=ax2+6x-15

Graph of fx is shown below as it is increasing in -,34 and decreasing in 34,.

Then, abscissa of vertex is 34.

-B2A=34

-(6)2a=34

a=-4

g(x)=-4x2-6x+15

Local maxima exists at the vertex of gx, whose abscissa is

x=-B2A

x=--6-8=-34
