The correct answer is: -,92

Given,f(x)=2x3+(2p-7)x2+3(2p-9)x-6

On taking differentiation w.r.t x, we get

f'(x)=6x2+2(2p-7)x+3(2p-9)

f'(0)=6(0)2+2(2p-7)(0)+3(2p-9)

f'(0)=3(2p-9)

Here, given that for x<0 the function has maxima and for x>0 the function has minima so the function is decreasing function about x=0,

Hence f'(0)<0

So, 3(2p-9)<0

p<92

Therefore, p-,92
