Q.

Let x = 2 be a local minima of the function f(x)=2x4-18x2+8x+12, x(-4,4). If M is the local maximum value of the function f in (- 4, 4), then M=         [2023]

1 186-332  
2 126-332  
3 126-312  
4 186-312  

Ans.

(2)

f(x)=2x4-18x2+8x+12 

f'(x)=8x3-36x+8=4(x-2)(2x2+4x-1)

Sign of f'(x) is given below

Point of maxima = 6-22 

M=126-332
