The maximum value of x x in (2, ) is
Options
- A1
- B2 e
- Ce
- D1 e
Correct answer
D. 1 e
Step-by-step solution
We have, aligned f(x) &= x x f^ (x) &= 1 x x- x 1 x² = 1- x x² aligned For maxima or minima, gathered f^ (x)=0 1- x x² =0 x=1 Now, f^ (x)= - 1 x x²-(1- x) 2 x x⁴ = -x-2 x+2 x x x⁴ gathered
