Detailed Solution

Given f(x)=3x44x3+6x2+ax+b

f′(x)=12x3-12x2+12x+a
And 
f′′(x)=36x2-24x+12
=12(3x2-2x+1)
Now 
D=b2-4ac=22-4(3)
=4−12
=−8
Hence
D<0, thus 
f"(x)>0 for all x.
Hence f(x) will only have minima, and no maxima.
Also f"(x) has no real roots.
Therefore f′(x), x will have atmost one real root.
