MCQ
The maximum value of ${x^4}{e^{ - {x^2}}}$ is
  • A
    $e^2$
  • B
    $e^{-2}$
  • C
    $12e^{-2}$
  • $4e^{-2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$4e^{-2}$
d
$f(x)=x^{4} e^{-x^{2}}$ or $f^{\prime}(x)=4 x^{3} e^{-x^{2}}+x^{4} e^{-x^{2}}(-2 x)$

$2 x^{3} e^{-x^{2}}\left(2-x^{2}\right)$

Sign scheme of $f^{\prime}(x)$ is as follows:

Hence, $f(x)$ is maximum at $x=\pm \sqrt{2}.$

Thus, maximum value $=4 \mathrm{e}^{-2}.$
