Let f:R→Rf : R \to R be defined such that f(x)=16x2−16x+12f(x) = 16x^2 - 16x + 12

(A) Maximum value of f(x)f(x) is 8

(B) Minimum value of f(x)f(x) is 8

(C) Minimum value of f(x)f(x) is 16

(D) No maximum value of f(x)f(x)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

f′(x)=32x−16=0⇒x=12f'(x) = 32x - 16 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}. f(1/2)=4−8+12=8f(1/2) = 4 - 8 + 12 = 8. Since the parabola opens upward, this is a minimum and there is no maximum. Hence (B) and (D) only.
