If f(x)= ₀^1 e^ |t-x| d t (0 x 1) , then the maximum value of f(x) is
Options
- Ae -1
- B2(e-1)
- C(e-1)
- D2( e -1)
Correct answer
C. (e-1)
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)= ₀^x e^ |t-x| d t+ _x e^ |t t-x| d t=e^x+e^ 1-x -2 f^ (x)=e^x-e^ 1-x Clearly, x= 1 2 is the point of minima of f(x) . Also, f^ (0)=f(1)=e-1
