Question
If f(x) = 
,x ∈ 
, then
,x ∈ , thenOptions
A.f(x) has exactly one point of minima
B.f(x) has exactly one point of maxima
C.f(x) is increasing in 
D.maxima occurs at x0 where x0 = cosx0
Solution
f′(x) =
The only factor in f¢(x) which changes sign is cosx - x.
Let us consider graph of y = cos x and y = x
It is clear from figure that for x ∈ (0, x0), cos x - x > 0 and for x ∈
cos x - x < 0, ⇒ f′(x) has maxima at x0
