JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Applications of Derivatives Question Bank Maxima and Minima

  • question_answer
    The maximum and minimum values of \[{{x}^{3}}-18{{x}^{2}}+96x\] in interval (0, 9) are                                                [RPET 1999]

    A)            160, 0

    B)            60, 0

    C)            160, 128

    D)            120, 28

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Let \[y={{x}^{3}}-18{{x}^{2}}+96x\]Þ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=3{{x}^{2}}-36x+96=0\]            \ \[{{x}^{2}}-12x+32=0\Rightarrow (x-4)\,(x-8)=0\], \[x=4,\,8\]            Now, \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=6x-36\]            At \[x=4\,\,\,\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=24-36=-12<0\]            \ At \[x=4\] function will be maximum                    and \[{{[f(4)]}_{\text{max}\text{.}}}=64-288+384=160\]            At \[x=8\], \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=48-36=12>0\]                  \At\[x=8\], function will be minimum and \[{{[f(8)]}_{\text{min}\text{.}}}=128.\]
