MCQ
If $f(x) = k{x^3} - 9{x^2} + 9x + 3$ is monotonically increasing in each interval, then
  • A
    $k < 3$
  • B
    $k \le 3$
  • $k > 3$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$k > 3$
c
(c) $f'(x) = 3k{x^2} - 18x + 9 = 3\,\,[k{x^2} - 6x + 3] > 0,\,\,\forall x \in R$

$\therefore \Delta = {b^2} - 4ac < 0\,\,\,,k > 0$

$i.e.,\;\;36 - 12k < 0$ or $k > 3$.
