Let f x = x 2 + 1 x 2 and g x = x - 1 x , x ∈ R - - 1 , 0 , 1 . If h x = f x g x , then the local minimum value of h x is:
Options
- A2 2
- B3
- C- 3
- D- 2 2
Correct answer
A. 2 2
Step-by-step solution
f x = x 2 + 1 x 2 = x - 1 x 2 + 2 g x = x - 1 x x ∈ R - - 1 , 0 , 1 Let x - 1 x = t h x = f x g x = t 2 + 2 t = t + 2 t t ∈ R - 0 h x = t + 2 t A M ≥ G M Minimum of h x ⇒   t + 2 t 2   ≥   t × 2 t t + 2 t ≥ 2 2 Local minimum = 2 2
