Let a and b respectively be the points of local maximum and local minimum of the function f(x) = 2x3 − 3x2 − 12x. If A is the total area of the region bounded by y = f(x), the x-axis and the lines x = a and x = b, then 4A is equal to ______________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f'(x) = 6x2 − 6x − 12 = 6(x − 2) (x + 1)

Point = (2, −20) & (−1, 7)
