MCQ
The function ${x^2}\log x$ in the interval $ (1, e)$ has
  • A
    A point of maximum
  • B
    A point of minimum
  • C
    Points of maximum as well as of minimum
  • Neither a point of maximum nor minimum

Answer

Correct option: D.
Neither a point of maximum nor minimum
d
(d) Let $f(x) = {x^2}\log x$ ==> $f'(x) = 2x\log x + x$

and $f''(x) = 2(1 + \log x) + 1$

Now $f''(1) = 3 + 2{\log _e}1$ and $f''(e) = 3 + 2{\log _e}e$

$f(x)$ has local minimum at $\frac{1}{{\sqrt e }}$,

but $x$ lies only in interval $(1,e)$ so that ${y_2} = \sqrt x $ has not extremum in $(1,e).$

Hence neither a point of maximum nor minimum.
