JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 5th September Evening Slot - No. 17)

If x = 1 is a critical point of the function
f(x) = (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex , then :
x = 1 is a local maxima and x = $$ - {2 \over 3}$$ is a local minima of f.
x = 1 and x = $$ - {2 \over 3}$$ are local maxima of f.
x = 1 and x = $$ - {2 \over 3}$$ are local minima of f.
x = 1 is a local minima and x = $$ - {2 \over 3}$$ is a local maxima of f.

Explanation

f(x) = (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex

$$ \therefore $$ f'(x) = ex(6x + a) + (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex

= ex(3x2 + x(6 + a) – 2)

f '(x) = 0 at x = 1

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 3 + (6 + a) – 2 = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ a = -7

$$ \therefore $$ f'(x) = ex(3x2 – x – 2)

= ex(x – 1) (3x + 2) JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Evening Slot Mathematics - Application of Derivatives Question 122 English Explanation
