The values of \(x\) at the stationary points of \(f(x)=x^3+3 x^2-2\) are

  1. A 0,2
  2. B 1,2
  3. C \(0,-2\)
  4. D 1,1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0,-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(y=f(x)=x^3+3 x^2-2\) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2+6 x \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=6 x+6\) For stationary points \(\frac{d y}{d x}=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 3 x(x+2)=0 \Rightarrow x=0,-2\)
