MCQ
Local maximum and local minimum values of the function $(x - 1){(x + 2)^2}$ are
  • A
    $-4, 0$
  • $0, -4$
  • C
    $4, 0$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0, -4$
b
(b) $f'(x) = 2(x - 1)(x + 2) + {(x + 2)^2} = 3{x^2} + 6x$

$f'(x) = 0$ ==>$x = 0,\, - 2$

$f( - 2) = ( - 2 - 1){( - 2 + 2)^2} = 0$      (Maximum value)

and $f(0) = (0 - 1){(0 + 2)^2} = - 4$      (Minimum value).
