Question

If the function f x = x 3 - 3 a x has a local minimum at x = λ λ ≥ 4 and a ∈ 10,18 , then the sum of all the possible integral values of a is, 50, 112, 51, 16

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

f ′ x = 3 x 2 − 3 a = 3 x - a x + a ∴ f x has a local minimum at x = a ⇒ a ≥ 4 ⇒ a ≥ 16 ∴ ‘ a ’ can be 16,17,18
