Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^4}{4}-\frac{4}{3} x^3+\frac{x^2}{2}+6 x\right) = x^3 - 4x^2 + x + 6\) \(x^3 - 4x^2 + x + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow (x+1)(x-2)(x-3) = 0\) Critical points: \(x = -1, 2, 3\). (A) is TRUE. \(f(x)=|x|+3\). Minimum value is \(|0|+3=3\) at \(x=0\). (B) is…
