For the function, \(f(x)=\frac{-3}{4} x^4-8 x^3-\frac{45}{2} x^2-350\), which of the following statements are correct?
(A) \(x=-3\) and \(x=-5\) are the only critical points of the given function.
\((B) x=-3\) is a point of local minimum.
(C) The local minimum value at \(x =-3\) is 231.
\((D) x=-5\) is a point of local maximum.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (B) and (D) only
  3. C (C) and (D) only
  4. D (A), (B) and (C) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = -3x^3 - 24x^2 - 45x\) \(-3x(x^2 + 8x + 15) = 0 \implies -3x(x+3)(x+5) = 0\) Critical points: \(x=0, x=-3, x=-5\). Statement (A) is incorrect. \(f''(x) = -9x^2 - 48x - 45\) \(f''(0) = -9(0)^2 - 48(0) - 45 = -45…
