Question
If x = -1 and x = 2 are extreme points of f(x) = α log |x| + βx2 + x then
Options
A.α = 2, β = - 

B.α = 2, β = 

C.α = - 6, β = 

D.α = - 6, β = -

Solution
f(x) = α log |x| + βx2 + x
f′(x) =
+ 2 βx + 1 = 0 at x = - 1, 2
- α -2β + 1 = 0 ⇒ α + 2β = 1 .....(i)
+ 4β + 1 = 0 ⇒ α + 8β = - 2 .....(ii)

6β = - 3 ⇒ β = -
∴ α = 2
f′(x) =
+ 2 βx + 1 = 0 at x = - 1, 2- α -2β + 1 = 0 ⇒ α + 2β = 1 .....(i)
+ 4β + 1 = 0 ⇒ α + 8β = - 2 .....(ii) 
6β = - 3 ⇒ β = -

∴ α = 2
