Let `f(x) =x +(1)/(x).` find local maximum and local minimum value of `f(x) .` Can you explain this discrepancy of locally minimum value being greater than locally maximum value.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Local maxima at x=-1 , f(-1) =-2 ; Local minima at x=1 , f(1) =2
