Prove that the following functions do not have maxima orminima:

(i)┬аf(x) =┬аex┬а(ii)┬аg(x)= logx

(iii)┬аh(x) =┬аx3┬а+┬аx2┬а+┬аx┬а+1



Answer -

(i) We have,

f(x)= ex

Now, if┬а. But, the exponential function can neverassume 0 for any value of┬аx.

Therefore, there does notexist┬аcтИИ┬аR┬аsuch that

Hence, function┬аf┬аdoes nothave maxima or minima.


(ii) We have,

g(x)= log┬аx

Therefore, there does notexist┬аcтИИ┬аR┬аsuch that.

Hence, function┬аg┬аdoes nothave maxima or minima.


(iii) We have,

h(x)=┬аx3┬а+┬аx2┬а+┬аx┬а+1

Now,

h(x)= 0 тЗТ 3x2┬а+2x┬а+ 1 = 0 тЗТ┬а

Therefore, there does notexist┬аcтИИ┬аR┬аsuch that.

Hence, function┬аh┬аdoes nothave maxima or minima.
