The function f:R→Rf:R\to R is defined by f(x)=2x3+5f(x)=2x^3+5, then which of the following statements are correct ?

(A) f(x)f(x) has no local maximum value.

(B) f(x)f(x) has no local minimum value.

(C) f(x)f(x) has both local maximum and local minimum values.

(D) f(x)f(x) has neither a local maximum value nor a local minimum value

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

f′(x)=6x2≥0f'(x)=6x^2\ge0, vanishing only at x=0x=0 without a sign change, so ff is strictly increasing on R\mathbb{R}.

A strictly increasing function has no local extremum, so (A), (B) and (D) are true while (C) is false.
