JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 5. continuity and differentiation

If the functions \(f ( x )=\frac{ x ^3}{3}+2 bx +\frac{a x^2}{2}\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^3}{3}+a x+b x^2, a \neq 2 b\) have a common extreme point, then \(a+2 b+7\) is equal to

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f ^{\prime}( x )= x ^2+2 b + ax\) \(g ^{\prime}( x )= x ^2+ a +2 bx\) \((2 b - a )- x (2 b - a )=0\) \(\therefore x =1 \text { is the common root }\) \(\text { Put } x =1 \text { in } f ^{\prime}( x )=0 \text { or } g ^{\prime}( x )=0\) \(1+2 b + a =0\) \(7+2 b + a =6\)
