If $f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x}$. Which of the following is not a correct option ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
$f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x},\;x\ne0.$
$f'(x)=1-\frac{1}{x^2}.$
$f'(x)=0 \Rightarrow x=\pm1.$
$f(1)=2,\;f(-1)=-2.$
$\text{Local minimum value}=2,\;\text{Local maximum value}=-2.$
$\text{Hence extremes occur at }x=1,-1.$
$\text{Local minimum value is not }0.$
$\text{Incorrect option: local maximum value = −2, local minimum value = 0.}$
