Let f x = x 3 - x 2 + 10 x - 7 , x ≤ 1 - 2 x + log 2 b 2 - 4 , x > 1 Then the set of all values of…

Let fx=x3-x2+10x-7,x1-2x+log2b2-4,x>1 Then the set of all values of b, for which fx has maximum value at x=1, is:
  1. -6,-2
  2. 2,6
  3. -6,-2)(2,6
  4. -6,-2)(2,6

Solution

Given, fx=x3-x2+10x-7,x1-2x+log2b2-4,x>1

Now f1=3

For x<1,f'x=3x2-2x+10>0

  fx is increasing

For x>1,f'x<0

  function is decreasing.

So, at x=1 there is a point of maxima

So, limx1+fx=-2+log2b2-4

For maximum value at x=1

3-2+log2 b2-4

32b2-4>0

b[-6,-2)(2,6]
