Given such that is the only real root of . If , then in the interval :

  1. A
    is the minimum and is the maximum of
  2. B
    is not minimum but is the maximum of
  3. C
    is the minimum and is not the maximum of
  4. D
    neither is the minimum nor is the maximum of

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

has only one root at . This means either has a global minimum or global maximum at .Since the leading coefficient of is , as . Thus, must be a global minimum. is decreasing for and increasing for .In , the minimum occurs at . and are candidates for the maximum.Since and the function increases for , is the maximum in .But is not the minimum (which is ).
