ISRO previous paper 2013, Computer Science question 49, set A


What is the least value of the function f(x) = 2x2-8x-3 in the interval [0,5] ?
(a) -15
(b) -7
(c) -11
(d) -3

Answer is (a),

f '(x) = 2x-8

Let  f '(x) = 4x-8=0,
then, x=2,
substitute x=2 to the f ", but here no need to substitue in f ".

f ''(x) = 4 >0 (positive >> Minimum occurs at this point),
