Q46 / 155 · WBJEE 2021 · Mathematics

Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be given by $f(x)=\left|x^{2}-1\right|, x \in R$. then

  • A
    f has a local minimum at $x=\pm 1$ but no local maximum
  • B
    f has a local maximum at $x=0$ but no local minimum
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{f}$ has a local minima at $\mathrm{x}=\pm 1$ and a local maxima at $\mathrm{x}=0$
  • D
    f has neither a local maxima nor a local minima at any point

Solution

Figure
$f$ has a local minima at $x=\pm 1$ and local maximum at $x=0$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
