MCQ
Let $f\,(x) = 1 + 2{x^2} + {2^2}{x^4} + ..... + {2^{10}}{x^{20}}$, then $f(x)$ has
  • A
    More than one minimum
  • Exactly one minimum
  • C
    At least one maximum
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
Exactly one minimum
b
(b) $f(x) = 1 + 2{x^2} + {2^2}{x^4} + {2^3}{x^6} + {...2^{10}}{x^{20}}$

$f'(x) = x(4 + {4.2^2}{x^2} + .... + {20.2^{10}}{x^{18}})$

$\therefore $ $f'(x) = 0$ ==> $x = 0$ only.

Also $f''(0) > 0$.
