The minimum value of f(x)=4x3−48x+105f(x) = 4x^3 - 48x + 105 in the interval [1,3] is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

f′(x)=12x2−48=0⇒x2=4⇒x=2f'(x) = 12x^2 - 48 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2 (in [1, 3]).

Evaluate at critical point and endpoints:

f(1)=4−48+105=61f(1) = 4 - 48 + 105 = 61.

f(2)=32−96+105=41f(2) = 32 - 96 + 105 = 41.

f(3)=108−144+105=69f(3) = 108 - 144 + 105 = 69.

Minimum value = 41 at x = 2.
