Find the value of x for which the function f(x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x + 4 has a maximum value
2/3
1
- 2/3
-1
Correct answer is B
f(x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x – 4
f’(x) = 6x2 - 2x – 4
As f’(x) = 0
Implies 6x2 - 2x – 4 = 0
3x – x – 2 = 0 (By dividing by 2)
(3x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
3x – 2 = 0 implies x = -2/3
Or x + 1 = 0 implies x = -1
f’(x) = 6x2 - 2x – 4
f’’(x) = 12x – 2
At max point f’’(x) < 0
∴f’’(x) = 12x – 2 at x = -1
= 12(-1) – 2
= -12 – 2 = -14
∴Max at x = 1
