Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (a)

Solution:

  1. We have,

f(x)=3x318x2+27x40f(x)=9x236x+27=9(x24x+3)=9(x1)(x3)

Also, we have Missing or unrecognized delimiter for \left

Clearly, x2+3011x

x211x+300(x5)(x6)0x[5,6] So, S=[5,6]

Note that f(x) is increasing in [5,6]

[f(x)>0 for x[5,6]

f(6) is maximum, where

f(6)=3(6)318(6)2+27(6)40=122
