Q. At what point does the function f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4 have a local minimum? (2020)

A. (1, 2)
B. (2, 1)
C. (0, 4)
D. (3, 0)

Solution

To find local minima, we find f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x. Setting f'(x) = 0 gives x = 0 and x = 2. Checking the second derivative, f''(2) = 6 > 0, so (2, 1) is a local minimum.

Correct Answer: A — (1, 2)
