Let f x = 3 x 2 - 2 3 + 4 , x ∈ R . Then which of the following statements are true? P :   x = 0…

Let fx=3x2-23+4,xR. Then which of the following statements are true?

P: x=0 is a point of local minima of f

Q: x=2 is a point of inflection of f

R:f' is increasing for x>2

  1. Only P and Q
  2. Only P and R
  3. Only Q and R
  4. All P,Q and R

Solution

Given,

fx=3x2-23+4

Now on rearranging we get,

fx=81.3x2-23

Now differentiating both side we get,

f'x=81.3x2-23·ln3·3x2-22·2x

=81×63x2-23×x2-22ln3

So by using first derivate test we get x=0 is point of local minima

Now differentiating the function f'x=486·ln3k3x2-23xx2-22gx

We get,g'x=3x2-23x2-22+x·3x2-23·4x·x2-2

+x·x2-22·3x2-23ln3·3x2-22·2x

=3x2-23x2-2x2-2+4x2+6x2ln3x2-23

g'x=3x2-23x2-25x2-2+6x2ln3x2-23

f''x=k·g'x

f''2=0,f''2+>0,f''2-<0

Since double derivate is changing the sign at given point so we can say that x=2 is point of inflection

Also, f''x>0 for x>2 so f'x is increasing
