JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 25th January Evening Shift - No. 9)

Let the function $$f(x) = 2{x^3} + (2p - 7){x^2} + 3(2p - 9)x - 6$$ have a maxima for some value of $$x < 0$$ and a minima for some value of $$x > 0$$. Then, the set of all values of p is
$$\left( { - {9 \over 2},{9 \over 2}} \right)$$
$$\left( {{9 \over 2},\infty } \right)$$
$$\left( {0,{9 \over 2}} \right)$$
$$\left( { - \infty ,{9 \over 2}} \right)$$

Explanation

$f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^{2}+2 x(2 p-7)+3(2 p-9)$

$x_{1}<0, x_{2}>0$

$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(0)<0$

$\Rightarrow p<\frac{9}{2}$

$$p \in \left( { - \infty ,{9 \over 2}} \right)$$
