    The minimum value of function \[f(x)=3{{x}^{4}}-8{{x}^{3}}+12{{x}^{2}}-48x+25\] on [0, 3] is equal to  [Pb. CET 2004]

    A)            25

    B)            ? 39

    C)            ? 25

    D)            39

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=3{{x}^{4}}-8{{x}^{3}}+12{{x}^{2}}-48x+25\]            \ \[f'(x)=12{{x}^{3}}-24{{x}^{2}}+24x-48\]                   \[=12[{{x}^{3}}-2{{x}^{2}}+2x-4]\]\[=12[(x-2)({{x}^{2}}+2)]\]            For maximum and minimum value of the function\[f'(x)=0\]             Þ \[x=2\]. Now \[{f}''(x)=12[3{{x}^{2}}-4x+2]\]            \ \[{f}''(2)=12\,[12-8+2]=72>0\]            Hence the function is minimum at \[x=2\]            Minimum value of \[f(x)\]on [0, 3]            \[=\min \left\{ f(0),\,f(2),\,f(3) \right\}\]\[=\min \left\{ 25,\,-39,\,16 \right\}\]\[=-39\].
