Paragraph: Let f(x)= 2 x+x on [ - 2 , 2 ] Question: What is the least value of f(x) ?
Options
- A- (1+ 2 )
- B- ( 1 2 + 2 )
- C- (1+ 4 )
- D-2 ( 1 2 - 4 )
Correct answer
A. - (1+ 2 )
Step-by-step solution
f(x)= 2 x+x on [- 2 , 2 ] Find the value of f(x) at boundary of interval i.e at x = - 2 and x = 2 aligned & f ( - 2 )=-1+ - 2 & f ( 2 )=-1+ 2 aligned So, minimum value of f ( x )^2=- (1+ 2 )
