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
Advertisements
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

Let f(x) be the area of rectangle in terms of x, then
f(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`
For extreme value, f'(x) = 0, we get
x = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 2 < 0
∴ Area is maximum when x = `square`, y = `square`
∴ Dimensions of rectangle are `square`
