Which one of the following is correct in respect of the function ?
Options
- AThe local maximum value is larger than local minimum value
- BThe local maximum value is smaller than local minimum value
- CThe function has no local maximum
- DThe function has no local minimum
Correct answer
A. The local maximum value is larger than local minimum value
Step-by-step solution
\left(x^2-1\right)f^{\prime}(x)=x(2 x)+\left(x^2-1\right)=2 x^2+x^2-1=3 x^2-1f^{\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}}f(x)=f\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2-1\right)
Minimum value of
