If \(f(x)=a \log _e|x|+b x^2+x\) has critical points at \(x=-2\) and \(x=1\), then
- A \(a+2 b=0\)
- B \(a-2 b=0\)
- C \(a+4 b=0\)
- D \(a-4 b=0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(a+4 b=0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f'(x) = \frac{a}{x} + 2bx + 1\) \(f'(-2) = \frac{a}{-2} + 2b(-2) + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow -\frac{a}{2} - 4b + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow a + 8b = 2\) \(f'(1) = \frac{a}{1} + 2b(1) + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow a + 2b = -1\) \((a+8b)-(a+2b) = 2 - (-1) \Rightarrow 6b = 3 \Rightarrow b = \frac{1}{2}\)…
