Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -37

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because f(x)=3 x+\frac{12}{x} \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=3-\frac{12}{x^2}\) For critical point: \(f^{\prime}(x)=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 3-\frac{12}{x^2}=0 \Rightarrow x^2=4 \Rightarrow x=-2,2 \\ & f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{24}{x^3}\end{aligned}\) At…
