उत्तर
If f(x) = `(x^2 - 1)/(x^2 + 1)`, for every real x, then the minimum value of f is –1.
Explanation:
f(x) = `(x^2 - 1)/(x^2 + 1) = (x^2 + 1 - 2)/(x^2 + 1) = 1 - 2/(x^2 + 1)`
Therefore, f(x) < 1 ∀x and ≥ –1 ......`(∵ 2/(x^2 + 1) ≤ 2)`
Therefore, –1 ≤ f(x) < 1
Hence, f(x) has minimum value −1 and also there is no maximum value.
Alter: We have
f'(x) = `((x^2 + 1)2x - (x^2 - 1)2x)/(x^2 + 1)^2 = (4x)/(x^2 + 1)^2`
f'(x) = 0
⇒ x = 0
Now, f"(x) = `((x^2 + 1)^2 4 - 4x.2(x^2 + 1)2x)/(x^2 + 1)^4`
= `((x^2 + 1)4 - 16x(x))/(x^2 + 1)^3`
= `(-12x^2 + 4)/(x^2 + 1)^3`
Therefore, f′′(0) > 0 and there is only one critical point that has minima. Hence, f(x) has the least value at x = 0
fmin = f(0) = –1/1 = –1

Complete the following activity to divide 84 into two parts such that the product of one part and square of the other is maximum.
Solution: Let one part be x. Then the other part is 84 - x
Letf (x) = x2 (84 - x) = 84x2 - x3
∴ f'(x) = `square`
and f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0
∴ x = `square "or" square`
f(x) attains maximum at x = `square`
Hence, the two parts of 84 are 56 and 28.
