Solution

Correct Option: 3

Given: f(x)=2x321x2+36x+80f(x) = 2x³ - 21x² + 36x + 80 on the interval [0,6][0, 6]


Finding the critical points:

f(x)=6x242x+36f'(x) = 6x² - 42x + 36

Setting f(x)=0f'(x) = 0:

6x242x+36=06x² - 42x + 36 = 0

x27x+6=0x² - 7x + 6 = 0

(x1)(x6)=0(x - 1)(x - 6) = 0

Critical points: x=1x = 1 and x=6x = 6

Therefore, (A) matches with (IV) 6


To find the absolute maximum and minimum, evaluate f(x)f(x) at the endpoints and critical points:

At x=0x = 0:

f(0)=2(0)321(0)2+36(0)+80f(0) = 2(0)³ - 21(0)² + 36(0) + 80

f(0)=80f(0) = 80

At x=1x = 1:

f(1)=2(1)321(1)2+36(1)+80f(1) = 2(1)³ - 21(1)² + 36(1) + 80

f(1)=221+36+80f(1) = 2 - 21 + 36 + 80

f(1)=97f(1) = 97

At x=6x = 6:

f(6)=2(216)21(36)+36(6)+80f(6) = 2(216) - 21(36) + 36(6) + 80

f(6)=432756+216+80f(6) = 432 - 756 + 216 + 80

f(6)=28f(6) = -28

Comparing values: f(0)=80f(0) = 80, f(1)=97f(1) = 97, f(6)=28f(6) = -28

The absolute maximum value is 9797.

Therefore, (B) matches with (III) 97

The absolute minimum value is 28-28.

Therefore, (C) matches with (I) -28


Finding the second derivative at x=0x = 0:

f(x)=6x242x+36f'(x) = 6x² - 42x + 36

f(x)=12x42f''(x) = 12x - 42

At x=0x = 0:

f(0)=12(0)42f''(0) = 12(0) - 42

f(0)=42f''(0) = -42

Therefore, (D) matches with (II) -42


(A) → (IV), (B) → (III), (C) → (I), (D) → (II)
