Application Of Derivatives

Question
CBSEENMA12035367

Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the following functions without using the derivatives:
– (x – 1)+ 10

Solution

Let f (x) = – (x – 1)2 + 10
Now (x – 1 )2 ≥ 0 ∀ x ∊ R
⇒ – (x – 1)2 ≤ 0 ∀ x ∊ R ⇒ – (x – 1)2 + 10 ≤ ∀ x ∊ R
∴   maximum value of f (x) is 10. It has no minimum value.
