Question -

Prove that the following functions do not have maxima orminima:

(i) f(x) = ex (ii) g(x)= logx

(iii) h(x) = x3 + x2 + x +1



Answer -

(i) We have,

f(x)= ex

Now, if . But, the exponential function can neverassume 0 for any value of x.

Therefore, there does notexist c R such that

Hence, function f does nothave maxima or minima.


(ii) We have,

g(x)= log x

Therefore, there does notexist c R such that.

Hence, function g does nothave maxima or minima.


(iii) We have,

h(x)= x3 + x2 + x +1

Now,

h(x)= 0 3x2 +2x + 1 = 0  

Therefore, there does notexist c R such that.

Hence, function h does nothave maxima or minima.
