If the function (f:[-1,1] R ) defined by (f(x)= array cc 2^x+1, & for x [-1,0) 1, & for x=0 2^x-1, & for x (0,1] array . ) then, in ([-1,1], f(x) ) has
Options
- Aa maximum
- Ba minimum
- Cboth maximum and minimum
- Dneither maximum nor minimum
Correct answer
D. neither maximum nor minimum
Step-by-step solution
The given function (f:[-1,1] R ) defined by (f(x)= [ array cc 2^x+1, & for x [-1,0) 1, & for x=0 2^x-1, & for x (0,1] array . ) The given function (f(x) ) in (x (-1,0) ) strictly increasing and (f (0⁻ ) 2 ) but (f(0)=1 ) and in interval (x (0,1) ), again it is strictly increasing, but (f (0⁺ )=0 ) So, function has neither maximum nor minimum. Hence, option (4) is correct.
