  • question_answer
    Let \[p,q\in R\] be such that the function\[f(x)=\ln |x|+q{{x}^{2}}+px,x\ne 0\] has extreme values at \[x=-1\]and\[x=2\].
    Statement-1: f has local maximum at\[x=-1\] and\[x=2\].
    Statement-2: \[p=\frac{1}{2}\] and \[q=\frac{-1}{4}\]

    A)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

    B)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true and Statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement-1.

    C)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true and Statement-2 is correct explanation for Statement-1.

    D)  Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Sign of f'(x) \[f'(x)=\frac{1}{x}+2qx+p\]             At \[x=-1\Rightarrow \,p-2q=1\] At \[x=2\,\Rightarrow \,p+4q=-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \,p=\frac{1}{2},\,q=-\frac{1}{4}\] Also, \[f'(x)=\frac{1}{x}-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-(x+1)(x-2)}{2x}\]
