Question

Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following function. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may be:

f(x) = x2

Sum

Solution

Given function f(x) = x2

⇒ f'(x) = 2x

For maximum/minimum or critical points,

If f'(x) = 0 then 2x = 0 or x = 0

f'(x) changes sign from negative to positive as it passes through x = 0.

∴ f has local minimum at x = 0.

Local minimum = f(0) = 0
