The maximum value of \(y=x^3-3 x\) is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 at \(x=-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y' = 3x^2 - 3\) \(3x^2 - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \pm 1\) \(y'' = 6x\) For maximum: \(y''(-1) = 6(-1) = -6 \(y(-1) = (-1)^3 - 3(-1) = 2\)
