MCQ
Let $f(x) = {x^3} + b{x^2} + cx + d,0 < {b^2} < c$. Then $ f$
  • A
    Is bounded
  • B
    Has a local maxima
  • C
    Has a local minima
  • Is strictly increasing

Answer

Correct option: D.
Is strictly increasing
d
(d) Given $f(x) = {x^3} + b{x^2} + cx + d$

$\therefore$ $f'(x) = 3{x^2} + 2bx + c$

Now its discriminant $ = 4({b^2} - 3c)$

==> $4({b^2} - c) - 8c < 0,$ as ${b^2} < c$ and $c > 0$

Therefore, $f'(x) > 0$ for all $x \in R$

Hence $ f$  is strictly increasing.
