Applications Of Derivatives Question 291

Question: The maximum value of function $ x^{3}-12x^{2}+36x+ $ 17 in the interval [1, 10] is

Options:

A) 17

B) 177

C) 77

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let $ f(x)=x^{3}-12x^{2}+36x+17 $

$ \therefore f’(x)=3x^{2}-24x+36=0 $ at $ x=2,,6 $ Again $ {f}’’(x)=6x-24 $ is $ -ve $ at $ x=2 $ So that $ f(6)=17,\ \ f(2)=49 $ At the end points $ =f(1)=42,f(10)=177 $ So that $ f(x) $ has its maximum value as 177.
