Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  exactly one point of local maxima and exactly one point of local minima

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f(x)=2 x+3(x)^{\frac{2}{3}} \) \( f^{\prime}(x)=2+2 x^{\frac{-1}{3}} \) \( =2\left(1+\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) \) \( =2\left(\frac{x^{\frac{1}{3}}+1}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) \) \( +\frac{1}{+}-\mathrm{m}^{-1}\) So, \(\operatorname{maxima}(\mathrm{M})\) at…
