The correct options are
A (−∞,−32)
D (1,∞)
Since, x1 & x2 are local minima & local maxima of f(x)=3+2(a+1)x+(a2+1)x2−x3
Therefore, x1 & x2 are the roots of the equation f′(x)=0
⇒−3x2+2(a2+1)x+2(a+1)=0
Since, 2 lies between the roots of the above quadratic equation
Therefore, f′(2)>0
⇒−12+4(a2+1)+2(a+1)>0
Therefore, a belongs to (−∞,−32) & (1,∞)
Ans: A,D
