JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives

If the function \(f(x)=2 x^3-9 a x^2+12 a^2 x+1, a>0\) has a local maximum at \(\mathrm{x}=\alpha\) and a local minimum \(x=\alpha^2\), then \(\alpha\) and \(\alpha^2\) are the roots of the equation :

  1. A  \(\mathrm{x}^2-6 \mathrm{x}+8=0\)
  2. B \(8 x^2+6 x-8=0\)
  3. C \(8 x^2-6 x+1=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+6 x+8=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  \(\mathrm{x}^2-6 \mathrm{x}+8=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2-18 a x+12 a^2=0 \backslash_{\alpha^2}^\alpha\) \(\begin{aligned} & \alpha+\alpha^2=3 \mathrm{a} \& \alpha \times \alpha^2=2 \mathrm{a}^2 \\ & \quad \downarrow \\ & \left(\alpha+\alpha^2\right)^3=27 \mathrm{a}^3\end{aligned}\)…
