Mark the correct alternative in the following:
For what values of x is the rate of increase of x3 – 5x2 + 5x + 8 is twice the rate of increase of x?
Let P(x)=x3-5x2+5x+8 – (1)
Given that , We have to calculate x
Differentiating (1) with respect to t, we get
3x2-10x+5=2
⇒ 3x2-10x+3=0
Factorizing the above quadratic equation, we get
(3x-1)(x-3)=0
⇒ or x=3
