The function, $f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x}$, where $x \in(0,1)$, has local maximum at $x=$

The function, $f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x}$, where $x \in(0,1)$, has local maximum at $x=$
  1. $\frac{1}{3}$
  2. $\frac{1}{4}$
  3. $\frac{2}{3}$
  4. $\frac{3}{4}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x} \\ & \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=1 \sqrt{1-x}+\frac{x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}} x(-1)=\frac{2-3 x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}} \end{aligned}$ sign scheme of $f^{\prime}(x)$ Hence, local maxima at $x=\frac{2}{3}$
