Let \(f(x)=4 x^3-18 x^2+27 x-5, x \in \mathbb{R}\). Then which of the following statements are TRUE?
(A) \(f^{\prime \prime}(x)=24 x-36\)
(B) \(f\) has local maxima at \(x=\frac{3}{2}\) but no minima
(C) \(f\) has neither maxima nor minima
(D) \(f\) has both maxima and minima
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 12x^2 - 36x + 27\) \(f''(x) = 24x - 36\) Statement (A) is TRUE. \(f'(x) = 0 \Rightarrow 12x^2 - 36x + 27 = 0\) \(3(4x^2 - 12x + 9) = 0 \Rightarrow 3(2x - 3)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{2}\) \(f''( \frac{3}{2}) = 24(\frac{3}{2}) - 36 = 36 - 36 = 0\) For \(x 0\). For…
