(b) S1=2,0;S2=1

(c) S1=2,1;S2=0

(d) S1=1;S2=0,2

Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (c)

Solution:

  1. Given function is

f(x)=9x4+12x336x2+25=y (let)

For maxima or minima put dydx=0

dydx=36x3+36x272x=0

x3+x22x=0

x[x2+x2]=0

x[x2+2xx2]=0

x[x(x+2)1(x+2)]=0

x(x1)(x+2)=0

x=2,0,1

By sign method, we have following

Since, dydx changes it’s sign from negative to positive at x= ’ 2 ’ and ’ 1 ‘, so x=2,1 are points of local minima. Also, dydx changes it’s sign from positive to negative at x=0, so x=0 is point of local maxima.

S1=2,1 and S2=0.
