        The  maximum  slope  of the  curve \[y=-{{x}^{3}}+3{{x}^{2}}+2x-27\]is

    A)  5                                            

    B)  \[-5\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{5}\]                                  

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    We have the equation of curve \[y=-{{x}^{3}}+3{{x}^{2}}+2x-27\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-3{{x}^{2}}+6x+2\] which is the slope of the curve Let \[Z=-3{{x}^{2}}+6x+2\] For maximum and minimum, put \[\frac{dZ}{dx}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-6x+6=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=1\] Now,    \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}Z}{d{{x}^{2}}}=-6<0\] Thus, Z is maximum for\[x=1\]and maximum value of Z \[=-3{{(1)}^{2}}+6(1)+2\] \[=-3+8=5\] Hence, maximum slope of the given curve is 5.
