Please solve RD Sharma class 12 Chapter Maxima and Minima exercise Multiple choice question, question 35 maths textbook solution.
Answer: (b) 12
Hint: For local maxima or minima, we must have .
Given: Maximum slope of the curve
Solution:
Slope of the curve is given by
∀x
So, m is maximum, when x = 1
Putting x = 1 in the slope of the curve, we get, m = -3+6+9=12
The slope is maximum at the point (1, 12).
Maximum value of slope is m = 12
