One or more options correct
Let be defined by . Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- A. is differentiable at every real
- B. has a local minimum at
- C. has a local extremum at
- D.
Show answer and solution
Answer: A, B, D
Since is continuous, the fundamental theorem gives for all , so (A) is true. Now for and for , so changes sign from negative to positive at : a local minimum, and (B) is true. At , but on both sides, so does not change sign and there is no extremum: (C) is false (although does not exist there). For (D), , so (D) is true.
