3x4 + 9x3 - 4x3 -12x2 +5a = 0
=> (3x3 - 4x2)(x+3) + 5a = 0
=> x2(3x-4)(x+3) = -5a
Consider graph of y= x2(3x-4)(x+3)
find the min. value of dis.
find the least positive value to be added so that the graph just touches x-axis at one / two points.. (hvnt calculated)...and hence calculate 'a' which is the least positive 'integral' value.

the function F(x)= 3x^4 + 4x^3 - 12x^2 ,at x=0,1 and -2 the slope is zero///
the value at x=2 is -32 and it is the minimum value...so the min value of a =7
