Differentiation Question 333

Question: $ f(x)=x^{2}-3x $ , then the points at which $ f(x)=f’(x) $ are

Options:

A) 1, 3

B) 1, - 3

C) - 1, 3

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ f(x)=x^{2}-3x $ and $ f’(x)=2x-3 $

But $ f(x)=f’(x)\Rightarrow x^{2}-3x=2x-3 $

Therefore $ x^{2}-5x+3=0 $

$ \therefore x=\frac{5\pm \sqrt{25-12}}{2}=\frac{5\pm \sqrt{13}}{2} $ .
