MCQ

If $f(x) = {1 \over {4{x^2} + 2x + 1}}$, then its maximum value is

$4/3$
B
$2/3$
C
$1$
D
$3/4$

Answer

Correct option: A.

$4/3$

a
(a) $f(x) = \frac{1}{{4{x^2} + 2x + 1}}$==> $f'(x) = \frac{{ - (8x + 2)}}{{{{(4{x^2} + 2x + 1)}^2}}}$

Put $f'(x) = 0$ ==> $8x + 2 = 0$ ==> $x = - 1/4$.

$f''\,(x) = \frac{{ - [{{(4{x^2} + 2x + 1)}^2}8 - (8x + 2)\,2\,(4{x^2} + 2x + 1)(8x + 2)]}}{{{{(4{x^2} + 2x + 1)}^4}}}$

$f''( - 1/4) = - ve$ (point of maxima)

$\therefore$ $f{( - 1/4)_{{\rm{max}}{\rm{.}}}} = \frac{1}{{4 \times \frac{1}{{16}} - 2 \times \frac{1}{4} + 1}} = \frac{4}{3}$.
