Correct answer: C

  1. We are given f(x)=5x22+αx5,x>0f(x)=\frac{5x^2}{2}+\frac{\alpha}{x^5},\qquad x>0f(x)=25x2​+x5α​,x>0 and its minimum value is 141414.

We need to find α\alphaα.

  1. For minimum, differentiate: f′(x)=5x−5αx−6=5x−5αx6f'(x)=5x-5\alpha x^{-6}=5x-\frac{5\alpha}{x^6}f′(x)=5x−5αx−6=5x−x65α​

Set f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0: 5x−5αx6=05x-\frac{5\alpha}{x^6}=05x−x65α​=0 x=αx6x=\frac{\alpha}{x^6}x=x6α​ x7=αx^7=\alphax7=α

So at the critical point, α=x7\alpha=x^7α=x7

  1. Substitute this into f(x)f(x)f(x): f(x)=5x22+x7x5f(x)=\frac{5x^2}{2}+\frac{x^7}{x^5}f(x)=25x2​+x5x7​ f(x)=5x22+x2f(x)=\frac{5x^2}{2}+x^2f(x)=25x2​+x2 f(x)=7x22f(x)=\frac{7x^2}{2}f(x)=27x2​

Since this minimum is given as 141414, 7x22=14\frac{7x^2}{2}=1427x2​=14 7x2=287x^2=287x2=28 x2=4x^2=4x2=4

Since x>0x>0x>0, we get x=2x=2x=2

  1. Now compute α\alphaα: α=x7=27=128\alpha=x^7=2^7=128α=x7=27=128

  2. Check that this is indeed a minimum: f′′(x)=5+30αx−7f''(x)=5+30\alpha x^{-7}f′′(x)=5+30αx−7 At x7=αx^7=\alphax7=α, f′′(x)=5+30=35>0f''(x)=5+30=35>0f′′(x)=5+30=35>0 So the critical point gives a minimum.

Hence, α=128\boxed{\alpha=128}α=128​

Option C\boxed{\text{C}}C​ is correct.
