Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Given that y = -3 - 2x + X2
then, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -2 + 2x
At maximum value, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = O
therefore, -2 + 2x
2x = 2
x = 2/2 = 1
Given that y = -3 - 2x + X2
then, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -2 + 2x
At maximum value, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = O
therefore, -2 + 2x
2x = 2
x = 2/2 = 1
