Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -6,14

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
f(x)=x^2+a x+b
\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a}\) and when \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=0\), we get \(\mathrm{x}=\frac{-\mathrm{a}}{2}\)
Now \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=2\) and \(2>0\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) has minima at \(\mathrm{x}=\frac{-\mathrm{a}}{2}=3 \quad \ldots\) [as per given data]
\(
\therefore \mathrm{a}=-6
\)
Since Minimum value of \(f(x)\) is 5 at \(x=3\), we write
\(
5=(3)^2+(-6)(3)+b \quad \Rightarrow b=14
\)
