View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Given function
To find local maxima/minima, we use derivatives.
-
First derivative using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Critical points occur where
Since for , this gives
In the interval , the critical points are
-
Determine nature of critical points
Since , the sign of is determined entirely by .
-
For , , so Hence is increasing.
-
For , , so Hence is decreasing.
-
For , , so Hence is increasing again.
-
-
Conclusion from sign change
- At : changes from positive to negative, so has a local maximum at .
- At : changes from negative to positive, so has a local minimum at .
-
Correct option
Therefore, has
So the correct choice is C.
