MCQ
Given $\lambda \in [0,20]$, then number of integral values of $\lambda$ for which the function $f(x) = x^3 -12x + \lambda$ has a point of maxima-
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $0$
  • $21$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$21$
d
$\because f(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{3}-12 \mathrm{x}+\lambda \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=3(\mathrm{x}-2)(\mathrm{x}+2)$

clearly $f(\mathrm{x})$ is maximum at $\mathrm{x}=-2 \forall \lambda \in[0,20]$
