For the function f(x)=2x3−9x2+12x−5,x∈[0,3]f(x)=2x^3-9x^2+12x-5, x \in [0,3], which of the following statements are correct ?

A. The point of absolute maxima is x=3.

B. The absolute minimum value is -1.

C. The critical points are x=1 and x=2.

D. The absolute maximum value is 3.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

f′(x)=6(x−1)(x−2)f'(x)=6(x-1)(x-2), so critical points are x=1,2x=1,2 (C true). Values: f(0)=−5f(0)=-5, f(1)=0f(1)=0, f(2)=−1f(2)=-1, f(3)=4f(3)=4. Absolute maximum 4 occurs at x=3x=3 (A true, D false) and absolute minimum is −5-5, not −1-1 (B false).
