Suppose the cube has three distinct real roots where and . Then which one of the following holds?
- AThe cubic has minima at and maxima at
- BThe cubic has minima at and maxima at
- CThe cubic has minima at both and
- DThe cubic has maxima at both and
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let .To find critical points, set :.Second derivative: .At , Local Minima.At , Local Maxima.So, the cubic has minima at and maxima at .
