The gradient ofy= 3x\(^2\) + 11x + 7 at P(x.y) is -1. Find the coordinates of P.
- A. (-3, -2)
- B. (-2,-3)
- C. (-2,3)
- D. ( 2,3)
Correct Answer: B. (-2,-3)
Explanation
y= 3x\(^2\) + 11x +7;
dy/dx = 6x + 11= -1;
6x = -12;
x=-2
y= 3x\(^2\) + 11x + 7
At x-2,
y= 3(-2)\(^2\) +11(-2) + 7
= 12 - 22 + 7= -3
p(x, y) = (-2,-3)
