Local maximum value of the function _e x x is
Options
- A1
- Be
- C1 e
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. 1 e
Step-by-step solution
Let f(x)= _e x x On differentiating, w.r.t. x , we get f^ (x)= 1 x^2 - _e x x^2 For maximum or minimum value of f(x) , array rlr Put & f^ (x) & =0 & 1- _e x x^2 & =0 & _e x & =1 array x=e , which lies in (0, ) . For x=e, f^ (x)=-v e Hence, y is maximum at x=e and its maximum value = _e e e = 1 e
