MCQ
Which of the following statement is true for the function $f(x)\, = \left[ \begin{array}{l}\sqrt x \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x\,\, \ge \,1\\{x^3}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0\, \le x\, \le 1\\\frac{{{x^3}}}{3}\, - \,4x\,\,\,\,\,x\,\, < \,0\end{array} \right.$
  • A
    It is monotonic increasing $\forall \,\,x\,\, \in \,\,R$
  • B
    $f' (x)$ fails to exist for $3$ distinct real values of $x$
  • C
    $f' (x)$ changes its sign twice as $x$ varies from $(-\infty ,\infty )$
  • D
    function attains its extreme values at $x_1$ & $x_2 $, such that $x_1, x_2 > 0$

Answer

$\text{COMMENTS}:$ function is inc. in $(-\infty , -2) (0 , \infty )$ function is dec. in $(-2,0)$ 
$x = -2  \rightarrow$ local maxima
$x = 0  \rightarrow $ local minima
Derivable $\forall \,x\, \in \,R- {0,1} -\left[ \begin{array}{l}f\,'({0^ + })\, = \,0\,\,,\,\,f\,'({0^ - })\, = \, - 4\\f\,'\,({1^ + })\, = \,1/2\,,\,f\,'\,({1^ - })\, = \,3\end{array} \right.$
Continuous $\forall \,x\, \in \,R$.
