Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
(\left(\mathrm{x}^\mathrm{x}^2+1\right)=4\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{x}^2-1\right)) For \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{x}^2-1\right)=0 ;), either (\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{x}= \pmx=0x=-1\left[\frac{1}{2},2\right])
(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=(=12(1)^2-4=8 \gt 0)
(\therefore \quad) there is minimum value1)
(\therefore \quad) minimum value is
