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

A metal wire of 36 cm long is bent to form a rectangle. Find its dimensions when its area is maximum.
The rectangle has area of 50 cm2. Complete the following activity to find its dimensions for least perimeter.
Solution: Let x cm and y cm be the length and breadth of a rectangle.
Then its area is xy = 50
∴ `y =50/x`
Perimeter of rectangle `=2(x+y)=2(x+50/x)`
Let f(x) `=2(x+50/x)`
Then f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`
Now,f'(x) = 0, if x = `square`
But x is not negative.
∴ `x = root(5)(2) "and" f^('')(root(5)(2))=square>0`
∴ by the second derivative test f is minimum at x = `root(5)(2)`
When x = `root(5)(2),y=50/root(5)(2)=root(5)(2)`
∴ `x=root(5)(2) "cm" , y = root(5)(2) "cm"`
Hence, rectangle is a square of side `root(5)(2) "cm"`
