The local maximum value of the function, f x = 2 x x 2 , x > 0 , is
Options
- A1
- B4 e e 4
- C( e ) 2 e
- D( 2 e ) 1 e
Correct answer
C. ( e ) 2 e
Step-by-step solution
f ' ( x ) = 0 for maximum value Let y = 2 x x 2 ln y = x 2 ln 2 x 1 y y ' = 2 x ln 2 x + x 2 1 2 x × - 2 x 2 y ' = ( x y ) 2 ln 2 x - 1 y ' = 2 x x 2 x 2 ln 2 x - 1 2 ln 2 x = 1 2 x = e 1 2 x = 2 e - 1 2 Then maximum value will be f 2 e - 1 2 = 2 2 e - 1 2 4 e - 1 = e 2 e - 1 = e 2 e
