The point of local maxima of the function \(f(x)=(x-2)^5(x+2)^2\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B \(-\frac{6}{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  4. D -2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 5(x-2)^4(x+2)^2 + 2(x-2)^5(x+2)\) \(f'(x) = (x-2)^4(x+2)[5(x+2) + 2(x-2)]\) \(f'(x) = (x-2)^4(x+2)[7x+6]\) \(f'(x) = 0 \Rightarrow x=2, x=-2, x=-\frac{6}{7}\) For \(x For \(-2 Local maxima at \(x=-2\)
