    If\[y={{x}^{3}}-a{{x}^{2}}+48x+7\]is an increasing function for all real values of\[x,\]then a lies in:

    A)  \[(-14,14)\]      

    B)        \[(-12,12)\]        

    C)         \[(-16,16)\]      

    D)        \[(-21,21)\]                                                         

    E)  \[(0,\text{ }a)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\frac{dy}{dx}=3{{x}^{2}}-2ax+48>0\] (\[\because \]y is an increasing function) \[\therefore \]Discriminant, \[D<0\,\,4{{a}^{2}}-4\times 3\times 48<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}-144<0\Rightarrow a\in (-12,12)\]
