Which one of the following is correct in respect of the function f(x)=x(x−1)(x+1)f(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}(\mathrm{x}-1)(\mathrm{x}+1) ?

Options

  1. AThe local maximum value is larger than local minimum value
  2. BThe local maximum value is smaller than local minimum value
  3. CThe function has no local maximum
  4. DThe function has no local minimum

Correct answer

A. The local maximum value is larger than local minimum value

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=x(x−1)(x+1)=xf(x)=x(x-1)(x+1)=x\left(x^2-1\right)Differentiating,wegetDifferentiating, we getf^{\prime}(x)=x(2 x)+\left(x^2-1\right)=2 x^2+x^2-1=3 x^2-1AgaindifferentiatingAgain differentiatingf^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x \operatorname{At}^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow 3 x^2-1=0 \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow x= \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}MaximumvalueofMaximum value off(x)=f\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2-1\right)=−13(13−1)=−13(−23)=233=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\frac{1}{3}-1\right)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{2}{3 \sqrt{3}} Minimum value of f(x)=f(13)=13(13−1)=−233f(x)=f\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\frac{1}{3}-1\right)=\frac{-2}{3 \sqrt{3}}
