Question

Find points of local maximum and local minimum of 

Solution

Correct option is

x = 0

Differentiate f (x) w.r.t x to get: 

         

The only critical point is x = 0.

Let us observe the sign change of f’(x) at critical point x = 0. 

Use the following figure to check how sign of f’(x) is changing about x = 0.

 
   

x = 0 is the only point of local minimum as f’(x) changes sign from negative to positive values.
