Solution
\[\text { Given }: f\left( x \right) = x + \sqrt{1 - x}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x}}\]
\[\text { For the local maxima or minima, we must have }\]
\[ f'\left( x \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x}} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sqrt{1 - x} = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 - x = \frac{1}{4} \]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{4} \]
\[\text { Thus }, x = \frac{3}{4} \text { is the possible point of local maxima or local minima }. \]
\[\text { Now }, \]
\[f''\left( x \right) = - \frac{\frac{1}{4\sqrt{1 - x}}}{4\left( 1 - x \right)}\]
\[\text { At }x = \frac{3}{4}: \]
\[ f''\left( \frac{3}{4} \right) = - \frac{\frac{1}{4\sqrt{1 - \frac{3}{4}}}}{4\left( 1 - \frac{3}{4} \right)} = - \frac{1}{2} < 0\]
\[\text { So,} x = \frac{3}{4} \text { is the point of local maximum }. \]
\[\text { The local maximum value is given by }\]
\[f\left( \frac{3}{4} \right) = \frac{3}{4} + \sqrt{1 - \frac{3}{4}} = \frac{5}{4}\]
