For the function \(f(x)=x^3-6 x^2+12 x-3\) \(x=2\) is

  1. A A point of minium
  2. B A point of inflexion
  3. C Not a critical point
  4. D A point of maximum
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A point of inflexion

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because f(x)=x^3-6 x^2+12 x-3\)
\(\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-12 x+12\)
\(\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x-12=6(x-2)\)
\(\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(2)=0\)
